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!
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.
I was quite pleased with the way our most recent YiPsan build. Steel tubes and components kept the weight down to 18.5lbs with custom frame, fork, post, and stem.
Have you seen the cool bike taxis rolling around downtown Frederick lately? They are so cool. Geo and I took our first ride in one last week and it was fun!
A big congratulations to Tonya! She is the proud winner of the Breezer Greenway we donated to promote Bike to Work Day at the Frederick Pit Stop.

In case you missed it there is a great article about Renold Yip of YiPsan Bicycles in Spokes Magazine. The beautiful "Sunflower" bike on the cover is still here at the shop if you would like to see it in person.
