As co-owners of The Daily Rider, Loren Copsey and Beth Rogers each came to the bicycle business with their own perspective.

Loren got a blue Schwinn for his sixth birthday and taught himself to ride it by the end of the day. He developed into an avid road and mountain rider in central Virginia and worked for one of the Mid-Atlantic's largest bicycle shops throughout his late teens and early twenties. Bicycles, used for both sport and transportation, have been his lifelong passion.

Beth's love for bikes came both earlier and later than Loren's. Growing up in L.A., she rode to Thrifty Drug every afternoon for 15-cent ice creams, finding her freedom on the bike. Once on the East Coast, she forgot her love of biking until five years ago when Loren reintroduced her to the joys of riding a bike. For the past two years she has commuted to work on her stately Pashley Roadster Sovereign, very often in a skirt and heels. This bicycle, and Beth's quest for a unique, stylish bicycle shop, was truly the inspiration for The Daily Rider.

Both Loren and Beth believe that riding a bicycle is a safe, enjoyable, and easy way to navigate Washington, DC. They are committed to providing a well-curated collection of bicycles and accessories as well as a high level of personal service.

The Daily Rider is coming to 1108 H St. NE on Thursday March 29th 2012.

The Daily Rider's collection of bicycles currently includes models from Biria and Bobbin. We carry Gazelle, the original Dutch bike, and we will be introducing Spot, Beater, and several brands that have yet to be seen in the Washington, DC area market.

Our collection includes models that feel at home in the city, with racks for your bags and fenders to keep you looking sharp when you arrive. There's no need to put on special clothes, shoes, or equipment. If you have ridden Capital Bikeshare, you'll be familiar with how seamlessly you can integrate the right type of bicycle into your daily life. Our brightly colored bicycles don't require you to match your clothing to them, but the invitation is open!

Want your current ride to more closely fit your lifestyle? We have a full selection of bags and baskets to accommodate your laptop, your change of clothes, or even your dog! Installation of most accessories is included with purchase. We'll even give your ride a once-over and make sure everything is working well.
