jrenautParticipantNo problem getting it home. Hoping to try to put them on tonight, but next week is more realistic. Thanks again.

The Bike Rack DC has Saturday and Sunday rides. The Saturday ride is 30ish miles, while the Sunday ride is more road bike/drafting specific and a 40 miler (sometimes w/ a 60 mile option for a smaller subset of folks).

Have you ever done a ride with the Bike Rack? I’ve been wanting to and haven’t had a chance yet.
jrenautParticipantThe Bike Rack (14th and Q NW) does weekend group rides (http://thebikerackdc.com/community/group-rides/).
jrenautParticipantI’m all for them, so long as people riding them are good neighbors. And that’s the same thing I say about pedestrians, joggers, cars, f’ing Segways, and everyone else sharing the roads and trails.
jrenautParticipantI am decidedly pro-beaver and anti-congestion.
jrenautParticipantI don’t mean to be rude, but are you a spambot?
jrenautParticipantGreat, McPherson SQ is no problem for me. And no rush.
jrenautParticipantYeah, there are little holes in the front and back that look like they might be for fenders. You’re right, unlikely that Giant would sell fenders for a bike that don’t fit on it.
I live in Columbia Heights and work at L’Enfant Plaza. I’m mobile, though, especially when people are doing me a favor.

If your tires are 28mm or smaller and your bike is set up for fender stays I have a full set of SKS’s I haven’t been able to give away. Look just like the ones you linked. Yours if you want them – just buy me a Coke :p
Wow, thanks, I may take you up on that. The tires on the bike are Kenda 700X25c – I know that width isn’t 25cm, but not sure why a measurement in mm would have a “c” tacked on the end.
How do I check if it’s set up for fender stays?
jrenautParticipantIt looks like Giant makes fenders for the Defy. Note to Giant – how about a prominent link from the bike info page to the bike accessory page?
I guess the next question is, what should I be doing to clean the bike after riding in the rain?
jrenautParticipantOh, that makes it all better, then.
jrenautParticipantPlease tell me that’s not a weld in the middle of the seat post.
jrenautParticipantYou can report it at Struck in DC, a blog that tries to compile and map all the accidents in the city.

At first I thought it was left over from something, but now I think it’s intentional to keep cyclists from going through. I’ve been riding up the sidewalk. I wish they’d sign the trail a little better – if there’s a particular place I’m supposed to ride when making that connection, I’ll do it. But without more specific signs, I’m taking the more or less the shortest route.
jrenautParticipantI have a pump, but it’s just a little hand pump that probably isn’t going to get the tires up to 120. And I don’t really like the idea of CO2 pumps, I’m not sure why. I have a floor pump that will handle it coming from Amazon tomorrow, but that doesn’t help on the road.
