"'Twas the week before the Cherry Blossom Festival
and all throughout the city,
The cherry trees were ready to bloom,
all white, pink, and pretty..."

It's almost here, everybody! We've been talking, preparing, and amping things up for weeks now-- readying ourselves for the wonderful, whimsical mayhem that is the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

In case any of you have forgotten (as if you have!), Bike and Roll will be offering our Blossoms by Bike tour from National Mall and Union Station, and our longer Blossoms by Bike River Ride from our Alexandria location.

And, don't forget to pick up your Petal Pass this year from a participating Capital One Bank branch. (Petal Passes will be accepted at all three of our locations!) Also, make sure to check out all things National Cherry Blossom Festival by downloading the official Cherry Blossom App (available through iTunes and Google Play.)

Looking forward to seeing the city, and it's denizens, all in bloom!

Mr. Winter may have knocked on our doors yesterday, but Spring is just around the corner here at Bike and Roll Washington DC! This Saturday marks the kick off of our eleventh season in DC, and we couldn't be more thrilled to get things going over here. We're excited to bring you more of what you love, and a few new surprises this year!

For the Spring season, check here for hours and locations. (Be on the lookout for summer hours, which will be updated around Memorial Day.)

Our Capital Sites tour (10:00am) and Monuments tour (2:30pm) will leave every day of the week from our downtown location, with more tours leaving from Union Station and Old Town Alexandria. Our Blossoms by Bike tour and Blossoms by Bike River Ride will run March 23 - April 14th, taking riders down to the Tidal Basin and into the heart of cherry blossoms.

And, don't forget about our special Nite tours, starting March 23rd. Enjoy both our Captial Sites and Monuments tours by moonlight as you make your way out at dusk!

And, the cherry on top of this Bike and Roll sundae, Segway tours are running three times a day, every day! As if you forgot... ;-)

Spring is just around the corner at Bike and Roll Washington DC! This Saturday marks the beginning of our tenth season in Washington DC, and we couldn't be more excited to get going! All three locations will open for both tours and rentals starting this Saturday, March 10th.
