Bike DC Shirt by Lara @ 237 Inc.

Washington DC, home to the Queer Crafter Collective, has an ever-increasing population of cyclists. Whether you're riding for pleasure or purpose, there is not a street downtown that hasn't be touched by the wheel of a bike. A great environmental gesture and a superb way to squeak some physical fitness in on the way to work, you can see packs of cyclists where there used to be a single renegade pedal-pusher. DC and its surrounding Metro area boast some beautiful scenic bike paths and trails, too; anything from a smooth ride along the Mount Vernon route down the Potomac River to Mount Vernon itself or up the W&OD trail into Reston and points north, there's a bevy of choices for skilled and aspiring bikers.

Faced with a critical decision, Lara of 237 Inc. made lemons (a totaled car) into lemonade by making a commitment to traversing DC via bicycle or public transit many months ago. Her energetic and positive spirit has turned this necessity into a bit of an evangelistic endeavor, by cycling even more and more for pleasure and encouraging others to do the same! In fact, Michelle of Monkey Grl Duds and Lara biked many miles to Buzz for a QCC meeting not too long ago. It should come as no suprise, then, that she created this new design for her line of t-shirts, which also includes an homage to our hometown with the DC flag inside the wheel's center.

Lara creates each design by hand and screenprints each and every one in her home with the creative support of her loving feline family. One great service Lara provides is the ability for you to pick a shirt color and ink combination to suit your fancy. Each of these choices is provided here for you and also in her Etsy shop. Support handmade, support queer crafters, and support folks who are making great decisions for themselves and for the world that we all live in.
