Bicycling

Bicycling is a great way to get to and around town.

Bicycling makes Washington, DC one of the most livable cities in the country. D.C.'s relatively gentle topography, interconnected grid of streets, and renowned park system have long contributed to a favorable environment for bicycling.

Bicycle Parking

Bicyclists are welcomed, which has over 200 inverted-U bike parking devices in public spaces – with more to come. Several downtown parking garages provide bicycle parking as well.

Bicycle Routing and Commuting

Assistance in planning your trip is available from the Washington Area Bicyclist Association.

Bicycle Maps

A map of bike trails, routes, and suggested roads in Washington DC is available on the District Department of Transportation website.

A list of other bike maps is available on the Commuter Connections list of bicycling resources.
