Proteus & Community Events


Proteus & Community Events
We have lots of things going on at the shop and in the community. See our events calendar for updates and more information.
 Saturday, March 9, 6:30 PM - 10:00 PM -  FASHION SHOW This isn't your ordinary fashion show. This is fashion - Proteus style! Our staff and customers will be modeling new spring bike gear by Club Ride, Mavic, Endura, and Garneau while we eat, drink, and groove to tunes by Jerry Turner at the turntable. This event is a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. Donate $10 or more and we'll give you a coupon for $10 off on the purchase of $100 or more of our new spring gear. More info to come!

Tuesday, March 12 (time TBA) the Sandy Hook Ride on Washington (SHROW) will be coming through Proteus. On March 9, 26 cyclists will ride from Sandy Hook School to the Capitol in support of common sense gun safety legislation. They'll be stopping by the shop to refuel and pick up more riders on their way into DC. We'll let you know when we have more details. We'd love to see a big turnout to support these riders and their cause. Show your solidarity with this worthy cause by purchasing a SHROW top tube sticker for $5 to help the group with fundraising to defray the costs of the ride. 

On Saturday, May 18th Proteus is participating in the Chesapeake Tour de Cure in beautiful Easton, MD. Join our team, "The Proteus Herd" for a beautiful ride on the Eastern Shore. This is a really fun, well-run event - and for a great cause! There are several ride options, including a century. As an added incentive to join us, Proteus will be offering some specials on Pro-Fits and tune-ups to TDC participants as we get closer to the event date.

On Sunday, May 26th, Proteus will be joining the folks at the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area, Inc (ATHA) for a Bike Rally along the beautiful tributary trails in P.G. County. This is a family friendly ride that will highlight  transportation, shopping, and eating that is easily bike accessible. Route and details will be coming soon.

Continuing events:
  • Thursday night Pot Luck 7-9 pm
  • Tuesday Community Yoga 7-8:30 pm

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
