Mt. Rainier Bike Co-op – Getting there

[jrenaut]

Don’t know Mt Rainier, but are you aware we have something similar on Saturdays right here in Columbia Heights? Are you familiar with The Bike House?

Thanks for the quick reply. I did have the pleasure to check out the Bike House a few weeks back. They helped me replace swap out a cracked pedal. Now I have a wheel that may require a “rebuild” (I was told). Apparently I may have crushed the bearings in the wheel when I overtightening the bolts after putting on a new tire. I’m not sure the Bike House would be appropriate for this. Even if they do have the tools I’d feel guilty trying to do such an extensive repair at a place that is only open for three hours on Saturday. I know they get busy. I’ve tried Velocity Co-op in Alexandria as well. I may go back there but I’d like to check out Mt. Rainier first.

Ahh, gotcha. Like I said, don’t know that area, but I’m sure someone around here does.

WMATA‘s trip planner is pretty good. It looks like, depending on the time, you can go from Columbia Heights to PG Plaza or College Park and take the 86 bus or 83 bus (respectively) and be there in a bit over a half-hour.

The key bus stops are “38TH ST & BUNKER HILL RD” and “38TH ST & RHODE ISLAND AV”

Mount Rainier bike coop also looks like it’s also just a block or so off Route 1, which has extensive bus service.
