What's an electric bike? These bicycles use a small motor to help power you forward and give you momentum - meaning less effort and going farther! They are perfect for a tour like this that covers a ton of ground in a short amount of time. Perfect for those in D.C. with limited free time, locals who want to try something new, and anyone interested in a unique day out! If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an electric bike.
No other tour on our menu covers as many sites as this one! Join us in D.C. to see the best of the Nation's Capital. We'll cruise down Pennsylvania Avenue, around Capitol Hill, all while soaking in sites like the Capitol Building, Union Station, Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court. We'll take a brief stop for lunch (cost not included, please bring cash or credit card or you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch) we'll pedal by the Smithsonian Instituation and Washington Monument on our way to the hub of memorials and monuments dotted along the National Mall and Tidal Basin.
We give you plenty of time at each stop to hear fascinating stories and anecdotes from your tour guide, and of course take some photos.

Yes, helmets are provided and we require all riders to wear helmets on our tours.

All scheduled tours are in English, but private tours can occasionally be scheduled in other languages, given we have a tour guide who speaks the language of your choice.
We do reserve time to walk around some memorials on tour (for example, the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial). Our bike tours are designed to enjoy the city from a broad perspective so that's what we're going to do!
Unfortunately, we cannot enter the museums due to time constraints on this tour. Additionally, there's always some people that want 10 minutes in the Smithsonians and others that want 3 hours.
Unfortunately, due to the risk to both child and mother, pregnant women are not allowed to participate on our bike tours.
Our electric bike tours operate in groups of a maximum of 8 people.

We carefully designed each tour route with safety as the top priority. Whether on the street, bike lane, or pedestrian path, you always have a tour guide who is an expert and safely maneuvering your group around the city.
Our tours run rain or shine. We have rain ponchos available for anyone that needs them in our office. They are $1 and we gladly will buy them back from you if you don't use them during your tour. We encourage all guests to take a look at the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
