City Paper Best of DC | Best Bike Shop and Best Place to Get Your Bike Fixed 
Named one of America's Best Bike Shops 2016
The weather has been a bit of a roller coaster, but the temps will be lovely this weekend and the days are definitely lengthening.  We’ll be running a full weekend of riding opportunities- from a short jaunt about town, to our casual social cruises, to our vertical workouts- come on out & meet some great folks and explore the city by bike!  It’ll also be a great weekend for testing out that new set of wheels you’ve been dreaming of- so come on out to one of the shops to take a spin on one of our new arrivals and ride one home.  Check out the latest happenings at the shop below.  We hope everyone’s been enjoying some time in the saddle- and may you enjoy even more as the season turns.  Can’t wait to see you out there soon!

Forecast: gorgeous weather for group rides

Free Rides & Classes


It feels like we're turning a corner into spring already! Join us for what promises to be a gorgeous weekend of group rides! Try something new!  We’ll be heading out for the Hills of Anacostia, Hills of Rock Creek, Nice-n-Easy, Cupcake Ramble and City Explorers all this weekend! Relieve some of that stress & tension with our Monday Night yoga sessions. And be ready for the springtime miles with our Weekly Maintenance classes.  

Volunteers wanted! We're always looking for people that like to share their passion for riding. If you want to lead a ride or help out at events message outreach@bicyclespacedc.com

Advocacy Corner- make a difference for #BikeDC! 


February is a busy month for DDOT- and your participation is crucial!  So many things going on…
 
The RI Ave Streetscape meeting took place on Tuesday, and alas, no on-street bike facilities are on the proposal despite being part of the MoveDC plan.  Let them know this is not okay!
 
Coming up this month are meetings on the Alabama Ave. Safety Study, a Tactical Urbanism forum for North Capitol St., the Florida Ave Safety Study, & the New York Ave Streetscape project (that includes a trail!).  Attending these meetings is often the best way to provide input, so get out there if you can!
 
DDOT also released reports on the Eastern Downtown Protected Bike Lane (which delays the project for another year at least) and Mayor Bowser’s Vision Zero Initiative (which lowers the proposed fines for driving infractions & includes new penalties for #BikeDC).  Your feedback is needed to ensure that the roads are safe for cyclists (and everyone else)!
 
Making progress depends on YOU getting engaged in the process- please speak up!
