“Our daughter has special needs and can't ride a bike independently. Jeff offered us a tandem and was so engaging. He really goes above and beyond. We could have never visited this many historical monuments and landmarks on foot.” - Kerri L

Our rate is $695 for up to four riders for the first three hours of riding time everything included – planning, preparation, delivery, bicycles, helmets, gear, new water bottles (you get to keep), snacks and follow up. Many of my guests enjoy exploring further and longer. We always do what we can to accommodate and our rate is $200 per additional hour. If you have more than four people in your crew, we charge $100 for each additional person. If you have a team of 10 or more contact us and we can give you a quote. We are regularly flattered by guests who comment that their time with DC Cycling Concierge was the highlight of their time in the Washington DC region and the investment was worth every penny for the experience they received.

What does the tour include?

All tours include an experienced guide and customized route planning, preparation, bicycles, helmets, gear, water bottles, and snacks. We’ll do the legwork so you can enjoy an unforgettable and hassle-free ride tailored to your needs and desires. But, our tours are so much more than a bike ride. The history of our nation’s capital will come alive with our knowledgeable guides who will engage and entertain guests of all ages! You’ll come away with a new appreciation for the deep history and fascinating tales of the iconic landmarks and lesser-known sites in and around DC. 

What if someone in our group can’t ride or isn’t very comfortable on a bike?

We are committed to providing a safe, fun, and welcoming tour for all ages and abilities. We have a wide range of bikes and gear to accommodate your needs. We have bikes for adults, teens, and kids, tandem bikes, and a “Precious Cargo” cargo bike that can hold two or three children. We can also arrange to have electric assist (e-bike) available. If you have other special needs, please contact us and we will make arrangements for you. 

Do you have e-bikes?

The DC region is very flat, so typically e-bikes are not needed. However, we can arrange pedal assist e-bikes if you want. There is an extra charge.

How long are the tours?

Most tours are 3-4 hours, but can be extended if you are looking for a longer tour. Pace and distance will be adjusted to meet the needs of your crew. Explore our tours here. In addition to exceptional urban riding, the DC region has top-notch cycling trails such as the legendary C&O Canal / Great Allegheny Passage, great rolling back roads in Maryland and Virginia, and much more. We love to ride and will gladly take you where you want to go! Single day, overnight, and multi-day tours are available!

How fast do you ride?

All tours are customized to meet your needs. Our motto is “Your ride, your pace.” We will adjust the pace and distance to ensure everyone in your group has a fun, safe ride. An average pace for most group tours is between 8-12 mph, with lots of stops to see the sites and take pictures. 

Looking for a fast-paced ride or a challenging workout? You tell us the pace you want to get your endorphin fix or fulfill your training needs. We’ll ride hard, fast, and far while keeping us on the best roads and getting you back in time for the rest of your day.

Is it safe to bike in Washington, DC?

Our first priority is your safety and our guides know the best and safest places to ride. Washington, D.C. is consistently ranked one of the very best cities for bicycling in the entire country. It is home to excellent roads, impressive bike lanes, including protected bike lanes, and incredible trails that connect neighborhoods, natural areas, and different communities. Between this network and some quiet neighborhood streets, there are countless ways we can explore the area while ensuring everyone on the tour is comfortable and safe. 

What ages do you allow on your tours?

We have bikes and special gear to accommodate everyone from 6-months old to 80+ years-young. Bikes and all the gear are delivered to where you’re staying. Have other special needs? We are happy to make all the arrangements for you!

Do you have to book in advance?

For the best possible experience and to reserve your preferred date and time, please book your tour as soon as possible or contact us with any questions. Making your reservation earlier–a week or more is recommended–allows us to better plan, customize, and make arrangements for your tour for the optimal experience. But if you have just found us or you are coming to DC on short notice, we are happy to accommodate you if we have availability. Book a tour today and we’ll follow up to customize your ride.
