Stop for photos at the US Capitol, the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress, then see the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial and the World War I Memorial. Learn some history outside the National Archives and FBI Headquarters, then ride down Pennsylvania Avenue for views of the White House and Lafayette Square. Your guide shares insider stories and fun facts at every stop.

The route has some uphill sections, and e-bike upgrades are available for riders 16 and over. Your bike, helmet and bike bag are included, and kids' bikes, trailers and tag-a-longs are available on request.
