• Expand/Collapse What is an electric bike?

  These bikes look like traditional two-wheel bicycles, but use a small motor to help power you forward meaning less effort to go farther. They are perfect for a tour like this that covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. After a brief orientation, you'll be rolling like a pro in no time. If you know how to ride a regular bike, you know how to ride an electric bike.

• Expand/Collapse Is a helmet included? Do I have to wear a helmet?

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

  Your safety is top priority for us and studies have shown that helmets can reduce head injuries by at least 85%.

• Expand/Collapse Are reservations required?

  Reservations are required for our electric bike tours and space is strictly limited, so we highly recommend booking in advance!

  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. 

   

• Expand/Collapse Do we go inside the museums and monuments?

  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.

• Expand/Collapse Do we ride bikes in the streets or on sidewalks?

  Most of our tours ride in wide bike/pedestrian paths, but we do occasionally ride in the street depending on the tour.

  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.
