Paseo rápido en bici de Washington a Arlington

Get ready for an awesome city-to-suburb spin! This ride starts in the vibrant heart of Washington D.C., famous for its landmarks and lively streets. You’ll leave the marble monuments behind and cruise mostly on paved cycleways (a very bike-friendly 86% of your route), gliding over smooth asphalt and the occasional stretch of concrete.

Heading west, you’ll cross the Potomac River—catch some great city views as you go—before rolling into the leafy neighborhoods of Arlington, Virginia. Arlington has its own claims to fame: think Arlington National Cemetery, cool parks, and a youthful vibe thanks to nearby universities.

Expect some climbing (almost 200 meters of ascent), but plenty of gentle downhills to balance it out. With a distance of just over 15 km (about 10 miles), this is a perfect ride for an easy morning adventure or a laid-back commute. Enjoy the smooth surfaces and quiet roads—most of your journey avoids heavy traffic.

Bring your camera, a snack, and soak up the contrast between historic D.C. and laid-back Arlington!
