Dear readers, the owner of the The Bike Rack reached out to this blog to help promote his business within the community and get the word out about community rides and educational workshops. For the cyclists among us, read on:
The Bike Rack is a full service independent bicycle dealer located in the Logan Circle area of Washington, DC. Our passion is cycling and our goal is to offer outstanding service to a wide variety of cyclists and athletes by creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in our shop. Our service goals extend to the community through support of group rides, sponsored road and triathlon teams, special events and local partners.
Service to our community extends beyond our doors with weekend rides from the shop and ongoing workshops designed to offer something for everyone. Whether you are a commuter, a recreational rider or a competitive cyclist or triathlete you can take advantage of our educational workshops on bicycle maintenance and safety techniques. We also offer a beginner ride on Saturday mornings at 10:00 am leaving from the shop and we offer a more intermediate/advanced ride on Sunday mornings at 8:30, also leaving from the shop. For more information on our rides visit the “Group Rides” page on our website (www.bikerackdc.com).

I have been there and they were super helpful and friendly to a very recreational bike rider. Told them they should have opened up a shop around here.
