There are many options for getting around Washington DC, from rental cars, to ride shares and cabs. We found the Capital Bike Share made it so much quicker and easier to get around.

I was surprised how many areas had many bikes and bike parking locations.
We found bike locations near all the major landmarks and and hotels.

Riding bikes is great exercise and easy for many people to do.
Seeing the sights and being active is a great plus for us.
