As co-owners of The Daily Rider, Loren Copsey and Beth Rogers each came to the bicycle business with their own perspective. Loren got a blue Schwinn for his sixth birthday and taught himself to ride it by the end of the day. He developed into an avid road and mountain rider in central Virginia and worked for one of the Mid-Atlantic's largest bicycle shops throughout his late teens and early twenties. Bicycles, used for both sport and transportation, have been his lifelong passion. Beth's love for bikes came both earlier and later than Loren's. Growing up in L.A., she rode to Thrifty Drug every afternoon for 15-cent ice creams, finding her freedom on the bike. Once on the East Coast, she forgot her love of biking until five years ago when Loren reintroduced her to the joys of riding a bike. For the past two years she has commuted to work on her stately Pashley Roadster Sovereign, very often in a skirt and heels. This bicycle, and Beth's quest for a unique, stylish bicycle shop, was truly the inspiration for The Daily Rider. Both Loren and Beth believe that riding a bicycle is a safe, enjoyable, and easy way to navigate Washington, DC. They are committed to providing a well-curated collection of bicycles and accessories as well as a high level of personal service.
