Getting Around D.C. – Bike Rentals

Posted on by

For the environmentally conscious and exercise prone, bike rentals are available throughout the city by different means. DC does have the largest bike share program through Capital Bikeshare. There is a membership fee depending on how often you would like to use the bike and then usage fee for the amount of time. See their prices for more info. Other places to rent bikes includes: Smartbike (bikes are located right at Dupont Circle), Bike and Roll? and Big Wheel Bikes.

For trail info, take a gander at this website.

If you’re by the Smithsonian museums, you can also pick up a ride from? the pedal-powered taxi service, DC Pedicab. It’s not quite a horse-drawn carriage, but it certainly provides the rider with a new experience!

Happy travels! -Vanessa

If you’re looking for the most direct route to your destination and have some cash (sometimes they will take credit cards- depends on the cabbie and the company), a cab may be your best bet. There tends to be plenty of cabs on the street that are within hailing distance, but if you’d prefer to call one, here are a few numbers: Yellow Cab 1-202-TAXICAB, Diamond Cab 1-202-387-6200, Lincoln Cab 1-202-484-2222, and Orange Cab 1-202-832-0436.

By being in Dupont Circle and near other hotels, there are plenty of cabs driving around the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast. Just ask the innkeeper on duty and we will gladly hail a cab for you or call for a pick up.
