Be Carefree with Car-free Bike DC

Join us Saturday, October 17 for Bike DC - The Washington & Arlington Community Bike Ride. Enjoy a car-free view of some of the region’s best sights, including the Capitol, Iwo Jima, the Potomac River from the George Washington Parkway, and Embassy Row. A fun way to spend time with friends and family, the Arlington Community Bike Ride has joined with Bike DC to create a special celebration of cycling.

Choose between a family-friendly 12-mile ride or a longer 25-mile ride. The cost is $25 for the shorter ride and $35 for the longer one. Children up to 15 years old are free. Bike DC is fully supported with rest stops and refreshments.

Once you cross the finish line in Crystal City there will be music, face painting, a moonbounce, and more. You can leave your bike at the free valet bike parking and enjoy one of Crystal City’s many great restaurants.
