The Bicycle Escape, in conjunction with M.O.R.E., is hosting night mountain bike rides at Gambrill State Park on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month through the end of April.
This past Sunday was the Wild Goose Chase bike ride in Cambridge, MD. It is the first year I have done this ride. I went with my Single Speed Outlaw buddy, Maili and together we rode 25.2 miles. It was a beautiful and fun day. My Yipsan sunflower bike did great and attracted a lot of attention.
This was a fun project. The old Schwinn American Deluxe was rustier than an old grill. Our orders were to restore it without doing any re-chroming or paint work. We were quite pleased with the results.
We just got in newly designed TBE socks. This time we had them made by Swiftwick, makers of the best socks on the Planet!
FBC Fall BBQ and Picnic
Join the Frederick Bicycle Coalition for our first annual Fall Picnic and Bike Rides taking place on Sunday, October 10, 2010.
In case you missed the pictures on our Flickr album we just built this magnificent machine for Tom (not me). The YiPsan frame fork stem and post are even more impressive in person.
It is no secret that steel is a durable material, but even frames built of steel occasionally brake.
This old LeMond bicycle gave up the ghost after thousands and thousands of miles.
It was great fun to help out with the very first Tour de Frederick. We had fun meeting the many cyclists at our water stop.
The term custom is thrown around quite a bit in the bicycle industry. Sometimes it describes a stock bike frame with a hand-picked parts assortment. To others a custom bike is one with custom geometry and tubes designed to best suit a specific persons needs.
