Have you tried Capital Bikeshare? This bike rental service is a great way to see the sights or run errands. They boast more than 1800 bicycles at over 200 stations throughout D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria.
The rentals are intended for short trips, and one-way trips are fine. You pay a membership fee – either daily, three days, a month, or a year — the annual fee is just $75. You can take as many trips as you like and the first 30 minutes is free, with each additional half hour charged.
It’s a good idea to download their smartphone app before you set out, it lets you check the availability of bikes and open docking stations. Remember to bring your own helmet!
