Why mountain bikes have suspension

There might be some areas in Gambrill (aka "The Shed") you could do.
are you at all familiar with the trails there?

Check out this park guide or the website for Bicycle Escape
Look at the "Where To Ride" page.

Oooh. If I live near you, getting spin bikes from you would be easier. Do you think they'd fit in a station wagon at all? I've got a subaru outback, the bf's got a vw passat wagon. I live by Fort Detrick.

I've only been here since December, and only really biking since the spring. So while I've driven up Gambrills and walked around... It's still a goal for biking, road or mountain.

Now I can pick your mind!

What's the best bike shop in the area? The guys at Bike Doctor don't seem to be terribly knowledgeable - I went in once to buy a spoke wrench to fit my shimano wh-550 wheels & hubs, since none of my spoke wrenches fit... They couldn't tell me, but guessed and told me to get a certain one.

I came home, it didn't fit, and a quick google search showed that there was a specific larger shimano spoke wrench... Which I sort of assume that a competent bike shop guy should be able to tell me when I'm telling them the specific model of wheels I have, and I had 2-3 guys helping me pick a spoke wrench that day.

The Bicycle Escape seems friendly and don't seem like they're hard sells...

The Bike Doctor is my shop but if you go back try to deal with Brian (1st choice) or James (2nd choice)
There are some lame brains there in the evening and on Sunday.
