Sunday morning road ride starts this week-end!

Tired of rain, snow and cold? So are we! But the weather looks promising this week-end, sunny and in the 40's. So we are going to start up our popular Sunday morning road ride, a moderate 2 to 2 1/2 hour ride leaving from the shop at 9:00 a.m. You'll be back on Barracks Row in time for brunch! This is a "no drop" ride for all levels of riders, so don't worry about getting left behind. Be sure to check our Tweets for updates and cancellations.

Capitol Hill Bikes is Still on the Hill

We are pleased to announce that Capitol Hill Bikes is still on the Hill! After losing our lease in December, we have re-located to 719 8th Street SE (just 5 doors down from our old shop). We opened the doors on February 12, and are ready and eager to fill all of your cycling needs.

Please drop by and take a look at our 2010 James bikes. They have a great line-up of bikes that are perfect for commuting, riding the trails, or just cruising around town. One of my personal favorites is the Aurora, pictured above. In addition to its obvious beauty, this is one of the most versatile bikes on the planet, great for commuting and touring as well as training and group rides. If you are thinking of putting on some distance this Spring, you'll love the magic-carpet ride of the Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly frame and the way the 27-speed Shiman/FSA drivetrain flattens the hills. Plus, the wide 32c tires float over rough roads and the cantilever brakes offer mud clearance and top-notch stopping power.

Tough enough to withstand the snow and mud, but smooth enough to take you through miles of riding. Come on in and give it a test, and let us know what you think!
