I’m Joe Flood, a writer, photographer and web person from Washington, DC.
And I’m RedBikeGuy, the person who made fun of the fascists when they came to DC.
Born in Wheaton, IL, I attended high school in Florida before moving to DC to attend American University, where I graduated with a BA in International Relations.
With a passion for writing, I began a career in digital communications, where I worked for major nonprofits and government agencies, including AARP, The Nature Conservancy, NOAA and GSA. I love working on web sites and helping organizations reach the public with clear and concise messaging.
Writing as a day job wasn’t enough for me. Outside of work, I’ve written four novels set in DC and I won the City Paper Short Story Competition.
I also write nonfiction – my articles have appeared in The Washington Post, On Tap and elsewhere.
When I’m not working on my creative projects, I enjoy biking around Washington, DC – and beyond. I’m a big part of the #BikeDC community, known for my photos of local bike culture.
On joeflood.com, I write about the things that interest me – books, beer, bikes and the arts.

Wow, that’s a lot of stuff!
I am interested in the DIY ethos, too. I’m not from DC, but on my visit there I saw a lot of hard core drive to “get to the top.” Phew!
One of my favorite books is called Hope for the Flowers, by Trina Paulus. I think you might enjoy it.
Saw you on the news, heckling the Patriot Front clowns! HILARIOUS! A most excellent use of one’s time. Rock on, my dude. 🍻
I agree. What a riff. And the delivery. So much talent.
Joe Flood you rock. Loved your confrontation with the patriots….. You are such an inspiration.
Thank you, definitely the highlight of my day.
notwithstanding your op-ed in the washington post, I have a custom made superhero cape for you. Check your mail.
