Itinerary and highlights
Stop to learn about the Japanese Stone Lantern, located at the site where the very first cherry trees were planted by First Lady Taft and Viscountess Chinda.
We'll walk our bikes through the FDR Memorial to view The Pagoda, a gift of peace, that sits along the banks of the Tidal Basin.
If time permits, we'll stop at the MLK Memorial. Your guide will stay with the bikes (out of respect, we never ride through the memorials) so you can walk though the "Mountain of Despair" to view the "Stone of Hope"
Our Blossoms by Bike tour takes place during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Bike and Roll DC is an official tour provider for the Festival and donates a portion of each ticket sale back to the organization that coordinates this unique springtime celebration!
We'll stop at the Jefferson Memorial and you'll here some history and interesting facts about the memorial. You'll also have a fabulous view of all of the cherry trees lining the Tidal Basin.
