COVID-19 Procedures

For the time being, we are not requiring masks inside the shop, but this is subject to change depending on public health mandates.

Repair Calendar

We’re booking about two weeks out for any tunes or larger repairs. We are reserving a few slots each weekday for small repairs. Please text or call for availability. Weekend days are fully reserved for walk-ins. If you have an urgent repair, let us know so we can prioritize getting you back on the road.

July/August 2022 Bike Stock

Bike inventories have begun to rebound, but while we might have more models in stock, certain sizes and colors may not be available. Our suppliers are filling backorders weekly with a much better selection than any time prior to 2020.

Looking for a budget-minded but fully functional e-bike? We just had the Gazelle T9 City arrive and are impressed with the price and performance combined into the complete package.

Tern

The HSD P9 is returning to the shop in limited numbers. Please get your name on our wait list or call to place a deposit so we can reserve one for you.

Tern redefined compact cargo with the GSD and delivered again with this bike. Sturdy, capable, and just the right size for apartment dwellers, the HSD shortens commutes and makes short work of most errand running. The Verge calls this a “solid workhorse” having one in our own household for over a year, we agree.

We’re probably burying the lead here, but one of the most impressive and economical e-bikes we have ridden is available earlier than expected! The new Tern Quick Haul has a ride quality that makes the bike disappear under you. The bike is cargo-capable while remaining extremely agile in the urban environment. Did we mention that the Quick Haul D8 comes in at $2,999? These won’t last long, and we’re receiving a limited allocation. Please call or email to place a deposit.

Breezer

Several stepthrough Breezer Downtown EX models are in stock right now. These upright town bikes are well suited for utility or casual riding and come equipped with rack and fenders.

Fuji

Fuji Feather

For people looking for one of the best production singlespeed bikes available, the Fuji Feather is back in the shop after a nearly three year absence. The simplicity of the build and styling make this bike an instant classic. Available in red.

Marin

The road disappears and terrain gets more unpredictable, and the Marin Nicasio 2 is the bike you chose for this exact moment. The Nicasio 2 is sure footed and ready for all day gravel expeditions or occasional off-piste excursions. When not out in the wild, this bike is perfectly content with city streets and less intense adventures.

Marin Fairfax 2

One of the stars of 2020 and 2021 has returned to the shop. The Marin Fairfax 2 is the upgraded version of Wirecutter’s pick for favorite commuter bike. With a lighter frame and hydraulic brakes, this stops as well as it goes. Available in medium, large, and extra large.

One Marin DSX in Large has arrived. Marin calls this a bike for long distance multi-surface commuting. We see a bike suited for weekday commutes with after-work gravel detours and weekend C&O camping trips. One in stock, so please call or email before coming for a test ride.

Marin Presidio 1

One of our favorites for value and performance, the Marin Presidio 1 has returned in medium and large. If you’re looking for a budget conscious performance hybrid ($689) built with city riding in mind, come in and try it out.

Muirwoods RC

Back for what will likely be a limited time, the Marin Muirwoods RC (medium, large) blends mountain bike performance with urban comfort styling.

Gazelle

Gazelle T9 City

The Gazelle T9 City redefines entry-level while delivering the complete e-bike experience. At $2,299, this full-featured electric bicycle offers all of the latest technologies and essential equipment. Racks, lights, and fenders are all standard equipment. To make this complete, you just have to add a bag or basket and a secure lock before setting off for your first trip.

BICYCLE PARTS SHORTAGES

If you have been hearing about supply chain issues, know that the bike industry has been hit especially hard. We’re now seeing improvements in some parts and accessory availability. Some higher end parts and new releases are still in short supply. We have very little control over what is available to us and have done what we can to stockpile as many common parts to keep us in service for the season. If we have your bike in for repair we’ll do our best to offer alternatives and prioritize your needs.

One in stock, so please call or email before coming for a test ride.

BICYCLE PARTS SHORTAGES

If you have been hearing about supply chain issues, know that the bike industry was been hit especially hard. We’re now seeing improvements in some parts and accessory availability.

November is a great month for biking in DC. The cold hasn’t fully set in and long rides at the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail  feature great fall colors and regular sightings of deer. Our repair intake is being paused to catch up. We’re closed Thanksgiving week to conduct training. Fuji bikes are back in stock, with more on the way.

Repair Intake Temporarily Paused:

We have filled our repair schedule for the month of November. With our planned closure for training the week of Thanksgiving, we’ll start taking new repair appointments later in the month. Check back here for any news related to openings.

During the day we can accept a limited number of small repairs for minor issues such as flat tires and minor adjustment. Anticipate leaving small repairs for the day. We simply don’t have adequate staffing for most quick repairs while you wait.

Which brings us to…

Closed November 21st-26th for Staff Training

To keep up with increased demand, and to get ready for a busy 2022, we’re training our newest staff members in basic mechanical skills. During this time, we will not be open for sales or service, nor will we be answering phone calls or text messages. We’re dedicating this time to our staff’s development to decrease wait times for you next year.

Vote for us in Washington City Paper’s

Best of D.C. 2021:

Last year, voters in the Washington City Paper’s Best Of DC competition named us the “Best Place to Get Your Bike Fixed” and we placed second in the “Best Bike Shop” category. We were pleased to be recognized with these accolades and have spent the last year ensuring that we kept up our exacting standards. If you have a moment to fill out a ballot this year, please show your favorite local establishments that you appreciate their work. In a year of such adversity, it really was a point of light for us and our employees.

September 2021 Bike Stock:

Reports from all of our distributors indicate shortages, delays, and high demand complicating an already stressed supply chain. We have orders that were placed in mid-2020 that will be partially filled but cannot guarantee what or when they will arrive. An order from Marin will arrive on August 31st, and we’ll be assembling them for sale the first week of September.

Breezer:

Downtown EX in Bronze

One 56cm Breezer Downtown EX model remains in stock . This upright town bike is well suited for utility or casual riding and comes equipped with rack and fenders.

Fuji:

If you’re the right size for this last 17″ Fuji Absolute 1.7ST (5’3″-5’7″ or so) then you might be in luck. The Absolute is a versatile fitness hybrid that does double duty as a city commuter.

BICYCLE PARTS SHORTAGES

The industry-wide shortage of parts extends beyond our borders. Our bike vendors have told us they’re having trouble getting parts for bikes on the production line, leading to further delays. For us as a local shop, this means we will also experience limited inventory throughout 2021. This will cause repair delays, and restrict our ability to fix certain issues. Common parts like cassettes and derailleurs will be in short supply for the next 18 months until manufacturers can replenish the supply.

If you’re looking for an electric Yuba Supermarché,we have one remaining in stock that is nicely equipped for passenger carrying duties.

BICYCLE PARTS SHORTAGES

The industry-wide shortage of parts extends beyond our borders. Our bike vendors have told us they’re having trouble getting parts for bikes on the production line, leading to further delays. For us as a local shop, this means we will also experience limited inventory throughout 2021. This will cause repair delays, and restrict our ability to fix certain issues. Common parts like cassettes and derailleurs will be in short supply for the next 18 months until manufacturers can replenish the supply.

COVID-19 Procedures:

The shop has reopened to customers on May 18th. For the time being, we ask that all customers wear a mask while inside the shop.

Schedule a repair by email or phone call:

For full service repairs like tune-ups, we’re scheduled out about three weeks. We know it is getting nice out and you want to ride this weekend, but everyone else saw the sun at the same time.

Please call or email for an appointment. If we’re out of the shop or not answering, the phone number is text enabled. We check voicemail when we can, but please know we’re more responsive by text.

We will accept limited small repairs for minor issues such as flat tires and adjustments at the beginning of our day. We simply don’t have adequate staffing for the current level of demand.

May 2021 Bike Arrivals:

Reports from all of our distributors indicate shortages, delays, and high demand complicating an already stressed supply chain. We have orders that were placed in mid-2020 that will be partially filled but cannot guarantee what or when they will arrive. Some bikes slated to arrive are the second wave of the new Tern GSD and models from Fuji and Breezer.

Breezer:

A small number of Breezer Midtown models remain in stock. Please call for size and model availability. These city oriented hybrids balance a sturdy build with an athletic position for a great all-rounder.

Downtown EX in Bronze

A full compliment of  Breezer Downtown EX models just arrived (5/1). We have a full selection of sizes now (5/14). This upright town bike is well suited for utility or casual riding and comes equipped with rack and fenders.

Downtown EX Step Through in Graphite

In addition, the Breezer Downtown EX Step Thru arrived (5/1) in graphite and red. These should be available in all sizes once we get them built.   Just like the Downtown EX, it is fully equipped and ready for town biking.

Downtown EX in Rhubarb Red

Fuji Absolute 1.7 ST

Also arriving this week (5/14) are two 15″ Fuji Absolute 1.7 bikes. If you had been searching for a hybrid and fit the size requirements (5’0″-5’5″) call or stop by, as they won’t be here long.

Tern GSD Gen. 2

The all new Tern GSD has returned to stock (5/13) and is now available to test ride. We have several of the base model version in flat black. This supremely capable electric cargo bike has been improved with a suspension fork and all new Bosch Cargo Line motor.

Our selection of electric cargo bikes is decent for the moment, but we are seeing stock shortages there as well in certain sizes. If you’re looking for an electric Yuba Supermarché,we have one remaining in stock that is nicely equipped for passenger carrying duties.

COVID-19 Procedures:

class=”s1″>With expanded guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have modified our operations to keep our staff and customers safe. While we do not allow browsing inside the store, we are allowing brief interactions with customers outside. We require masks to be worn when interacting with our staff outside.

During the nicer days of April we’ll have our door open with a table inside of the doorway. Please stand back from the table when interacting with our employees.

Please call or text when arriving if the door is closed.

Schedule a repair by email or phone call:

If you need to get your bike tuned, April is where we start seeing significant wait times. Our current repair calendar is about two weeks long. This will continue to increase until we exceed three weeks and stop taking on new appointments. We know it is getting nice out and you want to ride this weekend, but everyone else saw the sun at the same time. Please call or email for an appointment. If we’re out of the shop or not answering, the phone number is text enabled. We check voicemail when we can, but please know we’re more responsive by text.

April 2021 Bike Arrivals:

We’re anticipating some models from Fuji and Breezer at the end of April and will update here as we receive them.

Remaining Fairdales:

The Fairdale Lookfar ($564) has returned to our shop. This has all the essentials that make a great city bike. The Lookfar keeps it simple with a 1×8 drivetrain and caliper brakes. Equip it for a commute by adding a rack and fenders, or keep it light and simple for afternoon fitness rides.

Update for 4/3: This bike is now sold out.

The Fairdale Express ($499) takes the already simple Lookfar a step further. This singlespeed model is now available in small/medium. If you’re looking for basic transportation with low maintenance, this is your ride.

A small number of Breezer Midtown models remain in stock. Please call for size and model availability. These city oriented hybrids balance a sturdy build with an athletic position for a great all-rounder.

A limited number of 48cm Breezer Downtown EX models just landed (3/26) and are likely to not last long. This upright town bike is well suited for utility or casual riding and comes equipped with rack and fenders.

The Breezer Downtown EX Step Thru model has arrived (4/19) in three sizes (XS, S, M) with a graphite finish. Just like the Downtown EX, it is fully equipped and ready for town biking.

A very limited stock of Fuji Absolute hybrids have also arrived (4/19), but have a waiting list. If any on the list fall through we’ll post here as soon as we know.

Our selection of electric cargo bikes is decent for the moment, but we are seeing stock shortages there as well in certain sizes. If you’re looking for an electric Yuba Supermarché,we have one remaining in stock that is nicely equipped for passenger carrying duties.

If you were looking for a Tern HSD, we now have the P9 and  S+ in stock, which when we first rode it changed our perception of biking.
