Bicycle Trail Rant

[xvxax]

If you want a fun experience go to Bike Club off Washington in Falls Church. Interesting place with a very interesting owner. There is a parrot who I think lives inside the shop who I have only heard whistle and yell curses.
Every day the owner has to haul at least 30-40 of the most junked out bikes outside just so you can move around. There are bikes lined all the way down the isles. Look up in the rafters and you can see a time capsule of brand new 90s road, bmx, and mountain bikes and some really weird/cool track stuff that he never sold or is collecting. The guy has no problem pulling parts off a bike and selling it to you. Bizarre place, worth visiting once.

Oh and WO&D sucks still, I rode it for a bit 2-3 weeks ago. People get too excited about being outside in April. I think bicycle repair is pretty standard in northern virginia. You're gonna wait a while for them to fix your bike because they all get busy this time of year. Performance is pretty decent though, Spokes Etc. is better.
