What To Expect

Hains Point

Potomac River

Jefferson Memorial

We'll stop at the Jefferson Memorial and you'll here some history and interesting facts about the memorial. You'll also have a fabulous view of all of the cherry trees lining the Tidal Basin.

Tidal Basin

We'll ride around the Tidal Basin, which is surrounded by different varieties of cherry trees ranging from pink to white.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

We'll walk our bikes through the FDR Memorial to view The Pagoda, a gift of peace, that sits along the banks of the Tidal Basin.

Connor was nice but the pace was painfully slow to the point of being dangerous. I could hardly peddle. We rode on very crowded sidewalks which was extremely dangerous. On the return while on the bridge, 3 drunk people were aggressively walking toward our single file bikers and a fat beligerent one shoved me with his shoulder into the railing. I sustained a gash and bad bruise to my right ulna. Conner was very nice and apologetic but I would not take this tour again.

Did this tour right at peak of the cherry blossoms, so it was very busy and crowded. If anything it was better to get around by bike because of the heavy traffic! We tour around the Jefferson, MLK and FDR memorials where there are tons of blossoms. Our guide was very good and gave us time to take pictures. Highly recommend if you can do it!

Excellent guide with Connor of Bike and Roll - a little hairy at times as there were so many people. It was the busiest weekend of the year - and you could tell. May have been even better to choose a ride that wasn't on the weekend!
