Spokes magazine: "Serving cyclists in the mid-Atlantic states"

[Kalidurga]

Spokes is a great magazine (newspaper?) that is free at local bike shops. I try to pick up a copy each month to see what's going on with mid-Atlantic bike advocacy and events, as well as their interesting regular features on various types of cycling.

Nicole, you need to get a copy of the April issue. There's a cover story on Adrian Fenty, "DC's new triathlete mayor". Mayor Fenty's apparently training for eight triathlons this year There's also another feature on triathlon in our area.

I know that Fenty is a runner and does several marathons each year but I hadn't heard that he does triathlon. I'll have to look for a copy of this magazine. Any idea which locals stores carry it?

I'm not sure which LBS you frequent, but I know I've seen it at All-American Bicycles in Damascus. I can't remember whether I've gotten it at Race Pace or not. All of the shops I go to in Frederick usually have it.

I know the Bicycle Place in Silver Spring carries it - we picked up the March edition recently. My gym usually has it, too, but I didn't look for it this morning. That's a place to look, too, if you have a fitness club membership.
A friend of mind recommended the Fenty family's store in D.C. (don't recall the name) for those occasional moments when I lose my sanity and think I might take up running, if I only had a good pair of running shoes!
Fenty was/is also, I understand, a driving force behind the free bike valet parking at this year's cherry blossom festival. Yay for that!

Adrian Fenty's parents shoe store is Fleet Feet in Adams Morgan. That's where I got my running shoes last year. They're really great at finding the perfect shoes for less than perfect feet. They also carry lots of triathlon gear.

I found Spokes at Revolution Cycle in Rockville, but it was the March issue
