About this Event

Tour description:

While some want to “drain the swamp,” they would be more productive considering how to help DC (and the region) prepare for increased tidal flooding in our region. Sea levels are rising, our portion of the Chesapeake Basin is “settling,” and Washington DC is projected to see a dramatic increase in tidal flooding in the next 20 years. In fact, DC is predicted to experience tidal flooding twice as bad as any city along the East Coast! Join Jeff Miller, DC Cycling Concierge, for an enlightening ride around many of DC’s landmarks and thoroughfares that exist where they do because of our geographic history, and are at significant risk due to climate change. On this 2-hour bike tour we’ll roll along the rivers, canal ways and flood prone areas of our great city, which also happen to be some of the more scenic and vibrant neighborhoods.
