Posted on July 12, 2021 in Bicycling, Destinations

WIRED

AS TRENDS COME and go, simple design stands the test of time. And nowhere is that more evident these days than in urban mobility. With everything from autonomous cars to dockless pogosticks vying to be the next big thing, the bicycle continues to shine as the most efficient, practical, and reliable solution to urban mobility. Many cities are taking note, building infrastructure and expanding facilities to accommodate the bicycle as an everyday mode of transportation while improving urban livability.

2018’s Epic Trip

Posted on March 17, 2018 in Bicycling, Destinations

This year we’re planning a 4 day ride on the C & O Canal path from D.C. to Cumberland (184 Miles). The days will be 43 miles, 42 miles, 40 miles, 59 miles; OR 43 miles, 42 miles, 51 miles, 48 miles, depending on how we decide to break it up. 

We’ll be staying hotels along the way and plan to stay an extra day in DC enjoying what it has to offer.

We’re planning on the first or second week of September. What are you big plans for the year?
