On Saturday, August 4 Capital Bikeshare and the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) will be hosting the first ever DC Bike Fair. The Bike Fair is a family-friendly block party where residents can come to experience and learn about all of the bikesharing options currently available in their community by participating in interactive demos and mini bike rides to learn about how they all work. Community members will also be able to engage with members of DDOT and local bike advocacy groups to learn more about the network of trails and bike lanes that currently exist in and around Wards 7 & 8. 

There will be a bike obstacle course, a community bike ride led by WABA, DPR Skate Mobile for kids, music, a raffle for a free bike courtesy of Gearin' Up Bikes, prizes and more! The Bike Fair will take place from 12-4pm at 2241 MLK Jr. Ave SE (the parking lot next to the Big Chair in Anacostia).
