A birthday haiku for Hilda the HSD on her 2 year / 4000th mile birthday: Rain, snow, heat, perfect. Joy, explore, friends, bops, flowers. Daily adventure. (I 🩷 this bike!) @ternbicycles.com @thedailyrider.co

I also need to shout out @solidstatebooksdc.bsky.social in DC, which has helped us with multiple events. Truly a gem of a store with the nicest owners and staff.

Really, a plagiarism bot that creates pollution while hallucinating new ways to make more people unemployed must be a petroleum executive's fever dream. www.wired.com/story/new-ga...

Just received the new 2026 DC Bike Maps in the shop today.

WABA WON

Congratulations to @waba.org for stalling the feds attempt to remove the 15th St bike lanes on the National Mall!

From WABA... Show up at the Washington Monument TODAY at 5:00 pm to help us save the 15th Street Bike Lane! Signs warning of “paving on 15th St on or around 4/23/26” went up last week. It’s crucial that we show how vital this bike lane is. Clever signs and noise-makers encouraged. Re-skeet...

D IS T U R B I N G K E RN I N G AN D 𝐁 𝐎 𝐋 𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐆 ...along with a failed policy plan

Today Hill Family Biking organizers were in court in support of the @waba.org v. Burgum (Case 1:26-cv-00988) at the DC District Court, in the ongoing fight to keep our 15th Street bike lanes on the National Mall! #BikeSky

The full WABA lawsuit is here for your reading pleasure: www.scribd.com/document/101...

Some of the 300+ people who showed up today to show support for one of the best pieces of bike infrastructure in DC. They shouted in megaphones, honked horns, rang bells, and called out from both front and rear seats of cargo bikes, with voices in all registers. This isn't over.

Great protest ride downtown today with @hillfamilybiking.org! Trump’s USDOT plans to rip up the 15th St bike lane tomorrow, which has reduced traffic crashes by 46% and bike injuries by 91% (per @ddotdc.bsky.social). Hundreds of supporters rallied today among the beautiful cherry blossoms 🌸 🚲

Dati would have rolled back Hidalgo’s city-building successes while Grégoire will expand on them. This is a big win for Paris

Sign, share, show up Monday: waba.org/action-page/...

"No human who has been alive during cherry blossom season ever thinks, ‘What we need is more room for cars to get around.’ It is cyclists and pedestrians that take over, and this is going to make the chaos infinitely worse.”

I was involved in early planning for this segment, and if this comes to pass, I’m gonna really be depressed. 2026 has chosen both large-scale and extremely-targeted ways to ruin everything.

Apart from the rest of the mayhem they have wrought, this administration is some of the most joyless, unimaginative ghouls ever to hold office.

From an unofficial DDOT source, this starts Monday. Great timing for cherry blossom crowds.

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.

Winter Service Special: thedailyriderdc.com/winter-servi...

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!

Winter Service Special: thedailyriderdc.com/winter-servi...

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.
