That’s a wrap for the 2016 Bike Camp!
Bike Camp! 2016 wrapped up last week. Over the 10 days of the City Explorers program, we rode over 120 miles, visited sites in all four quadrants of the city (and beyond!). Our team of students developed a better understanding of D.C. geography and history, and learned how to navigate the city, taking advantage of protected bike infrastructure like on 15th St NW, trails like the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, and to identify lower stress streets and when to use the sidewalk to arrive safely at where we were going.
We took tours of the Kennedy Center, Frederick Douglass’s House, RFK Stadium, the National Zoo and more. We had lunch under the airplanes at Gravelly Point, on a boat on the Anacostia and under the tree canopy at the National Arboretum. We rode here and there, nearly melted in the heat, and ran through more than one sprinkler.
We had so much fun and can’t wait for Bike Camp! 2017. There may be changes for 2017, with the potential for a younger camp and an older camp. To get Bike Camp! Updates sent directly to you, sign up below!
