Yes, you can.
You can bicycle to work, play, errands and otherwise meet life's demands.
Here are just a few of our favorite resources to get started.
- Our commuter guide
- Sweet video about urban commuting for the "bike-curious"
- How to speak bike, written by our dear friend and Chasing Mailboxes blogger, Mary
- Information for new riders from the Washington Area Bicyclist Association
Please join our Nice & Easy beginner rides every Saturday and Sunday at 10 am. If you don't have your own bike, you can test ride one of ours or use a Capital Bikeshare trial membership.
We encourage you to bicycle because it's an addictively joyful way to get around. Just ask the experts. Science has proven a link between bicycling and happiness, as reported here and here.
We're at your service to answer your questions and help you give bicycling a whirl.
