Washington DC · RENTAL BIKES
The shortlist you would send a friend heading to DC: 3 rental bikes worth the money, each with its price, its traveler verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Pick up a Cannondale bike near the US Navy Memorial Plaza and explore Washington DC on your own schedule. The rental includes a helmet, lock, and handlebar bag, with options ranging from a short rental to a full day. Staff can suggest routes and bike sizes, but you choose where to ride and stop.
“punto d'incontro non preciso... eravamo 3 persone diversi a cercare il punto ritiro delle biciclette...”
Pick up an e-bike from Unlimited Biking near the US Navy Memorial Plaza and set your own route through Washington DC. Your rental includes a helmet, lock, color-coded map, and help planning museum, monument, and trail stops. Choose two hours, four hours, or a full day. There is no live guide, so you control the pace.
“Unlimited Biking. Ausgezeichnet. Nettes Personal, gute E-Bikes, problemlose Abholung und Rückgabe.”
Choose an e-bike at Strictly EBikes in Alexandria, get a briefing on the bike and trail safety, then ride a few blocks to the Mount Vernon Trail. Follow it about 7 miles to George Washington’s estate, explore there, or turn back when you’re ready. The rental includes a phone holder, drink holder, lock, repair kit, and bag or basket.
“Horrible waste of money. I have ridden Pedro bikes when you put it in speed 5, you go 20 mph instantly. These bikes you peddle like like crazy to go 8 mph. You have to lean forward to reach the handle and your arms and back are so after a short ride. Good luck..gary”
Pick a memorial, a museum or a night out.
