DC Ranks 6th in “Most Bikeable” Cities List

Washington, D.C., is the nation's sixth "most bikeable" city in the United States, according to the website Walkscore.

The website looked at several factors to make the rankings, including the number of commuters who ride bikes, the number of bicycle-friendly trails and lanes, and how well those trails and lanes inter-connect.

  • Biker's Paradise (90-100)
  • Very Bikable (70-89)
  • Bikeable (50-69)
