Media Library

Open for Business

PPTC has accumulated >120 cycling video tapes and DVD’s. We will be increasing the collection as good new films are released.

The majority of these are the classic races: the Tour de France, Tour Dupont, Spring and Fall classics and many others. There are also a few how-to tapes and exercise videos.

Some are professionally made, but most were recorded from television. All are of good quality and make excellent viewing. See Greg’s last victories, Indurain’s domination, early Lance (“I will never win the Tour de France”) Armstrong proceed to his five straight victories. There’s other rare footage, too.

These videos will be lent free to members, who will pay the postage. The limit is 10 videos per member per month.

To order:

Make your selection from the list below and contact the PPTC Office (703) 385-1688. Present your name, address, and credit card number, and the videos you would like to view. Please order by number. The videos will be packaged and sent with return postage on the package. When you are through, just put them back in the same package and mail.

Please note: members are responsible for the safe return of the films. They will be assessed the purchase price, ranging from $10.00 for some amateur films to $100.00 for certain professional DVD’s.

PPTC Rents Protective Bike Boxes for Travel

Potomac Pedalers has several wheeled, hard-shell bike boxes (and one soft case) for short-term rental. The boxes, available exclusively to club members, are helpful for keeping your bike safe while traveling.

Demand for the boxes is high, particularly in the summer and fall. So reserve early.

Price - $20/per week, $3 per additional day, $20 minimum (nonrefundable). You will need your own tools, including Allen wrenches and a pedal wrench, to disassemble your bike. These are not provided by the club.

Size: 46" by 30" by 10". (Many airlines charge an oversize luggage fee of $50 or more each way; be sure to get specifics from your individual carrier.)

For more information or to reserve, email the coordinator based in the area where you'd prefer to pick up and return the box. Bob is in northern Montgomery County; Rita is in Arlington. Include information on the dates of your trip AND approximately when you would like to pick up and drop off the box.

Bob Bloomfield: email, (301.253.9481)

Rita Zeidner: email, (703.998.7489)
