Proteus Bikes started in 1972 and has a 31+ year history unlike any bike shop in the region. In addition to selling bicycles, they built the famous "Proteus" brand bicycle known across the United States. In fact, Proteus bikes are quite collectible.

Proteus Bikes has been under new ownership and management since January of 2003. The Proteus management team consists of some of the best bike talents anywhere. We represent over 50 combined years of bicycle background and experience. Our mission is to be the most respected, commited and valued bike shop anywhere in the metro Washington, D.C. region.

We will do this by standing behind our products, our service and our commitment to the bicycle community. Whether you are a mountain biker, commuter, road or recreational cyclist, Proteus will take the time to use our expertise to match our customers with the perfect product and deliver top notch repair and build services.

Sincerely,
Jill DiMauro, proprietor and the rest of the Proteus staff
