Bikes are very impractical. What if I need to haul 40 gallons of water?

Wait what theconversation.com/the-worlds-2...

Tern's flagship GSD R14 arrived in port in exceptionally limited stock. Want to reserve one? Let us know before Monday. www.ternbicycles.com/us/bikes/473...

Those snowbanks aren't the only thing melting this week. Serious discounts on select remaining prior-year stock:

I've been using one of these with my daughter all winter and the quality and design is awesome. Enter to win one now!

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

Proud to have supplied that e-bike that @jamellebouie.net rides, a @ternbicycles.com GSD.

If you've ever seen the @call2recycle.bsky.social box on our counter and wondered what happens to the batteries we collect, we were curious as well. Have an old cellphone, a drawer of dead batteries, or small power pack? See batterynetwork.org/battery-basi... for details!

A reminder that we're closed for the snow today. If you can manage to drag in your bike to us on Tuesday, we'll be offering the same snow special below.

We'll be closed tomorrow due to the snow, and, well, everything...

Looking ahead to the forecast (❄️❄️❄️), there might be a bike you have that: 1. Needs some work. 2. Isn't going to get ridden for a few days. Funny, we have a great solution to that. See us this month and next for the fastest service turn-around times until November.

Pertinent applications: - Drive less than you are now - fly less - cut down on your online ordering habit - buy a local as you can

Unexpected side benefit to the shop purchasing an ultrasonic parts washer is that all of our eyeglass lenses are exceptionally clean.

Quick reminder: Tomorrow 12/31: 10-4 Thursday 1/1: Closed Friday 1/2: Regular Hours 10-6

Wishing you warmth, joy, and many happy rides this holiday season, even through the snow! ❄️ ✨

New Tern HSD accessories for 2026! Swapped out the Clubhouse Mini/Stormshield of 4 years for a Captain's Chair/Joyride bars. Love how @ternbicycles.com has accessories to match each stage of life. Thanks @thedailyrider.co for installing the new set-up! #SupportLBS

Holiday Hours for all you last minute shoppers:

"Please allow tree feet to pass"

This new pannier system might be our newest favorite thing.

Thanks to our customer Alex, who did the leg work, we can direct people to DPW's upcoming e-waste events for responsible recycling of RAD batteries. dpw.dc.gov/service/hous...

If you're wondering why we came out so negatively against that Rivian e-mess, well, here's why: electrek.co/2025/11/10/r...

"Rad bikes often use proprietary technology that is difficult or even impossible for a third party (like a regular bike shop) to replace or maintain" Anyone else see a problem with that? #bikeshoplife www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/11/10/r...

I'm so excited for today's DC Family Bike Fest!!! Come join the fun and visit me at the Art & Activism table, where we'll have some fun and easy activities, including social media activations, to help you advocate for bike and pedestrian infrastructure. Plus candy bracelets, of course!

We were highlighted on the CARLA cargo website about our use of our CARLA bike trailer for volunteer work! There is even a @thedailyrider.co shoutout in the article. #cargobikes www.carlacargo.de/heroes/carla...

Your Sunday family bike plans are here:

Almost like we can identify bad drivers with one observed action. That grey SUV that just nearly took out pedestrians at 7th and H NE running a red light? $14,000+ in unpaid photo enforcement tickets.

While you're voting on best pizza (The Little Grand), best bookstore (Solid State), and best Indian food (Tapori/Daru), help us and our favorite neighbors show DC how good H Street is.

Good to know that our strategic inventory planning can be upset with a social media post.

Tern says that a container from Vietnam that would have been subject to $20-30k in important duties will now cost $1M in tariffs. This is an extinction level event for the bike industry.

The Tern GSD is manufactured in Vietnam. www.renehersecycles.com/bikes-in-the...

Opening day is this week, and many folks will be biking their way to their favorite spring sporting events, with or without kids. Here are some tips from our pals at Hill Family Biking.

After months of hints and a year of speculation, the wait for the GSD Gen.3 is finally over. This model has so many new features and improvements from tip to tail. bikerumor.com/tern-3rd-gen...

We're as excited as any Tern fan to see what's next for this new release.

Looking for some affordable electric utility? Take our Specialized Haul ST for a test ride this weekend. www.wired.com/review/speci...

Just for reference, that's in about a year of ownership.

Is anyone from #bikedc on here? I need help selling some nice bikes. And my brain is melting from all the packing.

Testing of the text functionality complete. Thanks to all of our helpful volunteers! You can now interact with us via text directly from your phone or through our website.

Sure, it's 20 degrees now and mostly salty, but we have it on good authority that's set to change. If your bike needs service, wait times are as low as they will be until November. Be ready for that first 70 degree day and reach out to us soon.

As if the drivers of these vehicles need further distractions.

Please drink a verification can now.

Our new favorite place to talk about the bikes we love and with people who love them: Say "hi" to @bikeshopgirl.bsky.social , @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social and others sharing their expert opinions there. thedailyriderdc.com/cargo-bike-l...

The cheat code to the city is e-cargo bikes.

Some good news this week. The very popular E-Bike Incentive Program has reopened for applications. This year the program will open to Preferred and Standard applicants. For details and registration, see @ddotdc.bsky.social link below: ddot.dc.gov/page/distric...

Our most popular bike of 2024 returns to stock this weekend, in favorite color Beetle Blue. If you had been waiting on a Tern GSD S00, now is your time! Message us here or in the shop about a test ride.

Dolcezza coming soon to the old Wydown location on #HStreet NE. Oh man, this has been tough news to hold until it was ready to be announced. So glad I can finally stop teasing people with “If you like great coffee & gelato, you’ll be excited.” Many coffees & sweets there ahead! #Ward6

Oh no, the OF accounts are here now.

We recently welcomed Specialized to our shop as a new brand. Looking forward to new models and updates in 2025 from their line of conventional and electric bikes. thedailyriderdc.com/brand-introd...
