I would take a look at Handsome Cycles out of Minneapolis. I love my Devil and it's been going strong for years.

My Abus is can be sticky -- the channel cut into the ends of the U has right angles. It makes the cylinder easier to bind up. Other locks the channel has rounded edges and is more forgiving (and...
I'm like 80% probability in case you are building a response model to estimate attendance.
No, it's fine if other teams come as long as they take the bus or drive. It's gonna rain, people - stay off your bikes.
Hi Team!
My name is Tom Wyland aka FFX_Hinterlands. I live in Oak Hill as well, which is unincorporated Fairfax County just outside Herndon and Reston. I work less than two miles from home and...
So.. am I on your team? I think you just followed me on Stravs.
There are an amazing number of cyclists that would never get on their bike without proper bike shorts. The problem is that they don't ride if it's not shorts weather. Here I am deciding which...
Whoa, welcome to the Hinterlands! There's a FABB person, Paul K, who lives in Chantilly and could provide a perspective for that area. I'm north of Chantilly closer to the DTR.
I just sold a bike of that description a few months ago. I would be that Bikes@Vienna might have something.
Is the spacing 100mm front and 135 rear? I would assume so. Price?

I posted this to the DC Family Biking Facebook page.
Thanks, Chuck!
I hope to catch up with you this weekend. I'm hoping I don't have the honor of "last person to pick up their award."

Since no one mentioned it.. are your QRs tight and at the correct spot in the dropouts? Maybe the wheel isn't centered between the chainstays.
Another thing could be a twisted tube. I got a flat...
Two things that work well for this issue -
1) Balaclava plus a buff - This is great because you can always wear one or the other as windchill/weather requires.
2) A hood that is fitted for a...
I was reminded that my shifter cable needs to be re-greased this spring. Two years ago I got water in it and it I was stuck with a 1 speed until the temp went above freezing. Now its just a little,...
I've used the Ashgrove Trail before, but it involves quite a few hills if you go via the Barns at Wolf Trap. It's good to see another link into Tysons. I wonder if there's a better way linking...
Hi, I'm Tom aka "Fairfax Hinterlands." This is my fourth official freezing saddles. I guess before that I was just riding to work all winter and not fussing over Strava. I live out in the Herndon...
Squint and imagine little bikes instead...

We actually purchase cars by length so bike storage is not impacted. We're a family of five with 8 bikes.
Seven Cycles for $2K in Vienna, anyone?

I'm signed up as a Marshal, but I've been helping with the back-office stuff a bit. This kind of work lends itself to my soft computer hands.
I'll probably be the only bike running a giant saddle...
This is next weekend, Nov 17th. We are looking for both riding and stationary volunteers to help out. This link is the same as above.
Here's the link to the Facebook event.
Register for the ride here.
Hi this Thursday FABB is hosting a social ride around Reston’s new bike lanes. It starts and ends at The Bike Lane in Reston. Also, TBL has beer!...
