Handy Bikes: Detail
+++++++++++++++++++++
Peter Buck - Peter is the owner of Handy Bikes and is former Navy. Our Ryan F. bought her bike from them and said "Hey Gary, you should go talk to them"... so I did. Peter introduced me to his shop manager Sam and the two of them could not have been nicer. CBG has sent a few folks their way and the "report back" was that they were very helpful, reasonably priced, and stood by their work.

One of the conversations I had with them was how women cyclists are usually treated when they go into a bike shop and they knew this already. They focus on being very helpful, knowledgeable, and explaining whatever needs to be explained so everyone walks away satisfied.

So, if you are looking for a locally owned bike shop I would recommend Handy Bikes. When you go in, remember to say "Hey CBG told me about you guys" and they will fix you right up.

Ride Level Chart
+++++++++++++++++++++
NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best.

• Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle).
• Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved.
• Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved.
• Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations.

When coming to the meetup you do so voluntarily and are ready and able to participate in the ride as described under the conditions of the day. Be on time for the "pre-ride" preparation. If you do not attend the pre-ride preparation you will not be allowed to participate on the ride. There are NO exceptions to the above.
