Washington DC Bike Rentals

Washington, DC is the epicenter of America’s history, home to iconic monuments and memorials that outline the development of the United States. This makes getting around to see the Smithsonian, the World War II Memorial, and other famous attractions that much more important! When you choose to explore DC by bike, you open up new possibilities: neighborhoods you might have missed, museums you wouldn’t have seen, and the ability to soak in the true essence of this historic city.

Our bikes and customer service ensure your safety and peace of mind comes first, so you can explore the icons such as the National Mall as well as the new classics like the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Our expert-approved routes take you to the places about our country’s past that you can’t miss, as well as the spots that make D.C. a must-go modern metropolis.

What you can see:

  • Ride the entire length of the National Mall and circle the Tidal Basin
  • Stop along the must-see sights like the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court and Pennsylvania Avenue
  • Visit the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial
  • Take in your reflection in the reflection pool at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial
  • Explore the scenic waterfront of the Potomac River

Unlimited Biking will arm you with all you need for your adventure, including a helmet, a color coded map, a bike bag, and a bike lock, all free of charge – you supply the need to explore.
