Review from April T.
Washington, DC
6/30/2010
After years of paying full fare for new parts for a very old bike every time I had another scrape or theft, I was delighted to find this spot as well as Arlington's Phoenix Bikes. DC has some law against selling used parts but not so, fair Mount Rainier -- the city actually donates the space to this volunteer-run effort. The co-op was founded by a bike whiz who still works the wrenches there and is eager to teach the nuts and bolts of bike repair to anyone who cares to listen. Service and parts a tad more expensive than Phoenix, but still quite reasonable, especially for DC cyclists used to paying a premium at stores in pricey neighborhoods like G-town or Adams Morgan. You can shop for parts and do your own repairs if you're so inclined. Didn't ask if they fix up bikes for sale as does Phoenix; call during their odd hours (Tue 6pm-8:30pm; Wed 6pm-9pm; Sun 1pm-5pm) for more info.
