There are plenty of bike trails in and around Washington DC whether you are a beginner or an expert. Make sure to check with your doctor before starting any new exercise, and be safe when you ride - wear a helmet and the right gear, bring a cell phone and a bottle of water.
Eating Healthy in the City
