Eastside D.C. Bikeways - a Smart-guided Selfie Cycle Tour

Immerse into D.C.'s best-kept secret - a collection of bikeways woven throughout its consistent award-winning inner-city park system.

The District of Columbia (D.C.) may be one of America's most toured locations. Especially, in the Washington area where there is no shortage of touring companies to help tourists see what it is all about. This tour is different than all the rest. It is a smart-guided tour*. And, it takes you away from downtown Washington to explore the surrounding park bikeways. Did I mention award-winning parks - year after year?

Natural beauty is the highlight of this bikeway tour. A large tour segment travels along the resilient Anacostia River on wide bikeways with open riverfront views.

Anacostia Park runs the length of the east side of the river, where you may catch the festivities of outdoor sports, family picnics, and cookout aromas. It is home to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, a National Park Service gem adorned with boardwalks, lotus blooms, lilies, other marsh flora, dragonflies, beavers, and other marshland wildlife.

On the west side of the river, outdoor sports, people fishing, city sounds, docksides, and river traffic become part of the eclectic symphony of nature and civilization cohabitating on this beautiful stretch of riverfront. Picturesque Kingman Lake and Kingman Lake Island connect to this side of the tour route upon wide wooden boardwalks giving the tourist a unique perspective of the historical and everchanging Kingman Lake area.

A midway tasty waterfront spot is included in the tour route which is friendly to furry friends if you happen to be touring with yours (found on Bring Fido). Details are included with the tour links.

The 15-mile route follows the lay of the land which is level with only 174' of climbing. It is an 83% bikeway floop (like a loop, but flattened in the middle - a floop) and mostly unshaded. In some short segments the route shares the road with motor vehicles. As usual, the tour comes with the CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. There are a few segments where you might use your bike gears, but nothing to work up too much of a sweat about. Speaking of sweating - it's optional. You set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour pattern.
