Thanks to Katherine from Three Otters, for a delicious dinner and breakfast. A good meal goes a long way to raising morale after big miles behind and ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431673985-WIZSE9LC4QA47PCUHN0J/IMG_0275.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. They had a washing machine we could use!!!! Dry and clean Chamois!!! Another Morale boost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508433348111-O47YIDHQJP2WZQYRISLO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Almost done with the trip here. If I remember correctly, we are less than 15 miles outside D.C at this point. We got a mental boost being so close so early. We really breezed through the last 25 miles into town with the adrenaline pumping of being so close to finishing our goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508433485349-PJFRX9JMWQIKUUJHDHWN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. We barely got out of Pittsburgh before dark. Here we are waiting at the train track in McKeesport, PA less than 20 miles outside of Pittsburgh. We wanted to leave the shop by 5:30 so we could get to Connellsville and buy food and get to bed for our next big day of 120 miles of mostly climbing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508433228772-GUBGL82V6Z8347FJAHOE/IMG_0317.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Our QBP rep Josh came along for the ride and even said he had a good time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508432967182-AFMSC15U6K8WHRMXSOC9/IMG_0294.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. We stopped to snack and stretch every 15 mile or so. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508437838038-2DSYEIWB2U2FRCMXGHS3/IMG_0242.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Nate looking out from what I think is the Keystone Viaduct. Nate has done a good bit of bike camping this year (he completed the GAP and C&O this past spring). He might have the most dialed set up for this kind of riding. Take a close look at the front of his bike and you can spot two sets of handlebars. He really does use both bars. Multiple hand and riding positions are the name of the game for long days in the saddle especially when the terrain is flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431450572-C8LHSMEOAODKF56DBECM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508432368684-IANNND84T1BDXETBGEYN/IMG_0238.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Here's the Tandem that Katharine and myself rode. We picked it up used to see if we liked the Tandem thing and it was really great. It handled the load very well. I loved the multiple water bottle mounts. Disc brakes would have been great, but overall we were very happy with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431551193-UYKPHAA1S23M27YRGOXS/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508432713315-QPYRBU1UAUE3CZL9UPHF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Katharine and I were never so happy to be done climbing. The tandem is very fast on flat and downhill sections, but it is sluggish going uphill. We climbed for roughly 70 miles that morning. From the divide, we had a great 25 mile descent that was an amazing reward for all the hard work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431514196-CA7YAVZIT3G6VLCDVJ8N/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. We ate a lot of sheetz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508432915041-0E0FAB6LUAKB8GFRZHDX/IMG_0298.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. From what I hear the Tandem offers an amazing draft., however unfortunately our fenders didn't offer the coverage the rest of the team was hoping for, so Kathrine being Katharine came up with a trail side solution using empty beef jerky packaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508432791392-XBHGILNYQBTJUSAZUZTK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Sarah rode with us the first two days to Paw Paw then had to go back to town for work. Here we are saying goodbye. She rode the 25 miles or so back to Cumberland and caught the train home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431307224-PVCKS3K53NE7THX62DUE/IMG_0331.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. This is the only picture we took in D.C. Super tired and really thirsty for some beers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508271671267-N5PZLEYRLVYV1L0AM2OP/IMG_0213.JPG Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C. Here is the gang stopped for a photo before a couple miles before reaching Ohiopyle. This was our first full day of riding and our longest of the trip. We needed to make it to Paw Paw Maryland where we had rented a cabin for some nice 'glamping'. We started the morning in Connellsville in heavy rain, but it quickly subsided and we spent most of the day dry pedaling under an overcast sky in muggy hot temps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1508431790182-I9TXMEA2JKOK9QBE91C7/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Camp Kindred 2017...Kindred Goes to D.C.

Kindred Cycles becomes Dynamo Obsessed Here is a picture I snapped of Katharine riding through Polish Hill on one of our nightly commutes. The beam of her Busch and Muller Cyo T premium dynamo headlight is incredibly eye catching. The very bright beam is carefully managed to provide excellent illumination while not to blinding motorists as per German safety regulations. The light also has a daytime running feature that can sense light or dark and can alter the beam accordingly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1481647011432-6BWMA3DA5JSALDX4D6YV/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Let's all get Lit for the Holidays... Kindred Cycles becomes Dynamo Obsessed Here are some of the Dynamo products we keep in stock here at the shop. Most of the lights we carry are from Germany, where until 2013, all bikes over 11kg legally had to have a dynamo lighting systems to be in compliance with the law. Now battery powered lights are legal but Dynamos still rule the roost in Germany and much of Europe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1481738301813-XLUCVEFFWAJ7LQPY38L2/IMG_0260%281%29.JPG Blog - Let's all get Lit for the Holidays...

I was concerned the Fox 34 Float 29er fork might not have enough clearance but a WTB 27.5 X 3.0" Bridger fits well. The short sculpted chainstains won't allow for this conversion to happen in the rear. I have heard and seen pictures of the older steel honzo set up for 27.5+ front and rear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1446561685024-89X5WM4J5SEHJ9TR64XF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 2016 Kona Honzo AL/DL Review Here is one of our stock bikes I used for the photo op.

Not only are these bikes functional, durable, and reasonable they also look great. This particular bike is called the Flyer and its a pretty basic single speed cruiser. It was designed to mimic the older BMX cruiser of yesteryear and we think they did a great job. Super durable butted chromoly frame and fork combined with a relaxed riding position and 26" wheels makes this bike a great cruiser. http://www.kindredcycles.com/blog/2014/2/15/words-for-the-beardless monthly 0.5 2014-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1392445339010-BBRKX21HUF6FM0TCXCWO/Beard+Envy+is+real.jpg Blog - Words for the Beardless http://www.kindredcycles.com/blog/2014/2/5/progress-report monthly 0.5 2014-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1391651211431-PRMI9GA8R1RXGB0LT2KJ/IMG_7621.JPG Blog - Progress Report Katharine drove her Jeep to the fixture store.

She loves building confidence in riders, and getting people geeked to tour and commute. She’s got a few bike dads and moms she’s grateful to - Aaron and Katharine, Rocky and Nate - for letting her hop on their shoulders to see what bikes had to offer her. She dreams of infrastructure and a culture for bikes continuing to gain ground in Pittsburgh. She’s very hopeful for the future, loves press freedom, and carries anti-war sentiments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/529601da-26c0-46a2-a98a-80515ab700a5/TommyBioPic About - Make it stand out Have you been to the shop recently and thought, “Who is that man, and what is he whispering to that pile of old tires?” That’s Tommy! And he wants everyone (the tires) to know that they’re trying their best and that’s more than enough. The dry rot is not their fault. Tommy grew up in West View, went off to music school in New York City, and moved back to Squirrel Hill with his partner Opal after graduating. If he isn’t wrenching, he’s riding, and if he isn’t riding, he’s thinking about just how romantic that last ride was. On the weekends you can catch him in line for coffee or perhaps a sweet treat, futzing with his ‘almost-vintage’ digital camera, or doing a stretch somewhere on the side of a trail. Typically in that order. He’s starry-eyed & dirt-brained, and still trying to wrap his head around this “road” style of riding that seems to be gaining traction these days. Tommy recently made up City Loop, the Occasional Cycling Circular, as an attempt to put words to vibes. Ugh. I miss the days when only the tires could hear this stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1611438250369-UIXVVB9F7KZBAPNQ8W3K/signal-2020-08-17-231457.jpg About Jenny is from State College where she first started working on bicycles and found her affection for recumbent bikes/trikes and other weird bi/tri/quadricycles. She's an avid commuter and loves adventures by bike. She moved first to Philly before finding her way to Pittsburgh. After years in the 'burgh secretly rooting for Kindred's success she finally found herself working here in March 2020. She loves any chance to work on a weird bicycle, tricycle, quadricycle or handcycle, and any chance to clean a well-loved bike! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1389714532776-33SW7CWBNXVFE5WQPOQW/securedownload.jpeg About Aaron Stein is one of the founders of Kindred Cycles. Aaron moved to Pittsburgh in 2002 for a proper education and never left. Although the biology degree he came for has gained a good amount of dust, his bikes keep moving. Aaron rides any kind of two wheeled contraption he can get his hands on, whether it be mountain, cross, road, hybrid, etc... That said, Aaron is a bike commuter at heart and really wants to facilitate people riding their bikes all over Pittsburgh. He believes the best way to see Pittsburgh is by bike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1611438535951-A3FMDASI7WQX4W9HP3ZI/IMG_1832%281%29.jpg About Paint Can has been hard at work holding the front door open for seven years - all the years Kindred has been in existence.

Gee, those drops look fun. And logs? God put em there so we’d roll over em, amirite? Some potential’s best left untapped though, otherwise what’s there to look forward to? So John will NOT be getting into mountain biking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1611437852431-FSOTCI0LDZSR8RN3RO5D/katharinebiopic.jpg About Katharine Jordan was born and raised in Pittsburgh. In 2002 she moved to Boston, where she began cycling for joy and transportation, and wrenching out of curiosity and obsession. After graduating college Katharine worked as a full time mechanic in Boston and then in Savannah, GA. In 2012 she returned to Pittsburgh to find that over the past 10 years her hometown had been busy developing bicycle lanes, trails and a thriving bike community. Since returning Katharine has felt warmly welcomed by cyclists in Pittsburgh and looks forward to supporting current and future Pittsburgh cyclists at Kindred Cycles. Katharine loves adventures by bicycle, problem solving, kickstands, and lubricating chains. http://www.kindredcycles.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/1389827346317-A9WD69HWVZHENODVQ5VF/IMG_0230.JPG Contact http://www.kindredcycles.com/brands daily 0.75 2024-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52719ff5e4b0ecb23c8f5787/bd608446-2632-44ad-8b52-b404039823f8/GiantPerformace_Logo.jpg Brands -
