Nice! Only issue was that we have 2 people in our group with little experience riding a bicycle. I fell down once trying to avoid one of them. I can’t imagine what would be the situation if DC wasn’t as crowded as it was when we did our by i le tour.

Emily was wonderful and took us around to see areas I didn't know were there. Gave us plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.
