Scuttlebutt confirmed!! From Conte’s Bike Shop:

“We are proud to announce the opening of our 14th location off 14th Street NW in Washington, DC. The shop will likely look familiar to many in the #BikeDC world, and for good reason: for the past 13 years, this space housed our friends @bikerackdc. The Logan Circle community of cyclists is among the most vibrant, active, and passionate we’ve ever encountered, and we are excited to get to know you and your bikes as we get settled in our new home.

We hope you’ll come by and say hello in the coming days, we’d love to introduce ourselves – although we would imagine you will recognize many of the faces you’ll see.” (more…)

STAY TUNED. (more…)
