That is a ride for everyone! It was really fun to see people of all ages, including whole families, babies and pets! The courtesies of all the other riders too. It was awesome to experience.

2023 Rider Survey Respondent

Super friendly folks - especially the volunteers! The sights and sounds of the city in a car-free, safe bicycle environment was indescribable!

2024 Rider Survey Respondent

I loved the car-free non-competitive vibe of the ride...The experience seems to get better every year!

2024 Rider Survey Respondent

This was my first ride, and it was great! The route was fantastic in terms of sights and hilly-ness. Sign-up was easy, and I loved the water bottles, live music, and photo area at the end!

Great 20 mile ride today! This was my fourth ride and love this year's route. Perfect day and great time to exercise with friends and neighbors.

Allen K. Facebook

The DC Bike Ride was well worth the drive from Orlando, FL. Being able to enjoy DC and experience the various historical sights from a car free road was magnificent. I can't wait to do it again next year.

Marion B. Facebook

My husband and I really enjoyed this event. It's a fun way to see DC. The event is VERY carefully marshaled (by volunteers). The route is closed to vehicles. the are ample rest stops, bands play in various locations on the route! It's a really fun event!!

DC’s only car-free social ride for all ages and experience levels!
