Hot wHeelsOur guide to the 10 best cycling

destinations in Virginia

Y mountains motorcycle repair shop along Campbell Avenue, the affable Aaron Dykstra builds bicycles for any custom

cruiser—from the 6-foot-7-inch teacher who just couldn’t find a comfortable ride, to the serious cyclist wanting

to tackle long distances. He is a tailor for two wheels building bespoke bike frames to fit you.

Dykstra, 29, grew up listening to the romantic narratives of mountains and quaint villages told by his late

grandparents, who toured Europe by bicycle just after World War II. That inspired Dykstra to take a job in a bike

shop in Roanoke as a teenager. Joining the U.S. Air Force at age 17, Dykstra was eventually deployed to the Middle

East, where he sketched out bike-frame designs on paper. “Working with fighter jets all day really motivated the

mechanical side of my brain,” he says.

When his enlistment was up, Dykstra headed to Brooklyn, New York, where he took a job as a mechanic at a

small, but busy, bike shop, commuting to work on two wheels. Then it was off to Chicago, where he worked for

a cycling advocacy group. This was followed by a stint on a bicycle racing team.

In 2008, Dykstra and his wife, Michelle Davis—also of Roanoke and an accomplished cyclist herself—returned

to Roanoke, and that’s when Six-Eleven Bicycle Co. was born in the basement of the couple’s Grandin Village

home. About that same time, Dykstra spent several weeks in Colorado studying the art of frame building under

master Japanese builder Koichi Yamaguchi. “The minute I picked up the torch,” Dykstra says, “I knew I had

made the right decision.”

Today, that dream continues. Dykstra spends long days and about half the night at his well-organized shop,

often putting off dinner until 10 p.m., while customers wait as much as a year for him to invest 100 hours or

more on each steel bike.

Dykstra stamps every two-wheeled treasure with a circular seal of the ROANOKE SHOP, modeled after

the name plate that also provides the inspiration for the couple’s business name: the No. 611 J Class steam

locomotive, a masterpiece made in Roanoke in 1950 and admired by the Dykstras for its craftsmanship and

streamline styling. “Roanoke is a manufacturing town,” Michelle says, “and we wanted to make sure that people

The oldest occupied governor’s residence in our nation’s 50 states, the mansion has gracefully weathered the effects of 200 years as Virginia’s executive hostess, residence and workplace.Its clean, elegant neoclassical lines have had relatively few alterations over the years, while the area around it has morphed from an almost untamed meadow marked by deep gulleys and populated with livestock in the early 19th century into today’s urban center filled with soaring office buildings.

The mansio mansion was preceded by an unusual assortment of houses for Virginia’s early governors, including the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, rental proper-ties and finally a wooden structure deemed by the elder Tyler as

So in February 1811, the General Assembly authorized con-struction of a new house. With a $12,000 budget and instruc-tions to build it on the “lot where the present Governor’s house now stands,” a building committee of seven citizens selected 30-year-old Massachusetts native Alexander Parris to design the mansion.

The mansioimself in New England with his achievements in the bustling seaport of Portland, Maine, had moved south where economies were still robust, unlike cities in the north, which were experiencing the first financial downturn since the Revolutionary War.Influenced mightily by the work of Charles Bulfinch, who was adapting 18th-century Adamesque neoclassicism to Ameri-can buildings, and Benjamin Henry Latrobe, another prominent architect employing neoclassical designs in buildings in Philadel-phia and Richmond at the time, Parris soaked up the sensibilities of both. “Parris brought with him an idea of lightness that per-meated neoclassical styles popular in Boston,” says architectural historian Sarah Driggs, who worked for the Historic Richmond Foundation in 1988 and helped research the mansion’s history for an exterior renovation during the administration of Governor Gerald Balilntury into today’s urban center filled with soaring office buildings.
