Griffin Cycle moving on Bethesda Avenue

Looks like much bigger store. I have read that bike shops have done very well during the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteNow that the Capital Crescent Surface Trail is nearing completion on Bethesda, cyclist’s will have a great new east/west separated bike lane to get around on, connecting Chevy Chase Village and downtown Bethesda. I’m not sure when they will be building the next phase, extending north on Woodmont to Norfolk, and on Montgomery Avenue, but those will certainly help tie Bethesda Row, the Pearl District and the Woodmont Triangle together. Exciting times for cyclists!
