About Ernest

Ernest is the owner of the Crofton Bike Doctor located in the Village of Waugh Chapel Shopping Center. Ernest has been in the industry since 1989 when he first started to work at the Bike Doctor of Arnold. During that time I developed a love for cycling and retail. I graduated from the University of Maryland and live and ride locally. I enjoy riding off road and on the road as well as doing a little bike touring. As a teenager I did a trip in Maine and then over to Novia Scotia which helped cement my love for riding. Since then I have done tours in the Canyons of Utah as well as several trips along the C&O Canal. Today I have both mountain bikes and road bikes that I enjoy riding. One of the most exciting things now is my wife is beginning to develop a passion for riding and we have begun mountain bike together as well as some light road riding.

Possible Ban On Quick-Release Wheels

Posted on June 27, 2007 by Ernest

NJ legislators just approved bill #2686, which bans bicycles with quick-release wheels! I usually don’t take this sort of public stance but this is a little outrageous. When used properly quick-releases are just as safe as bolting on a wheel. … Continue reading →
