It seems we'll be staying out in Bethesda, and I will mostly want to see the touristy things in DC itself. Perhaps it's best to take the train in and rent a bike for one day and tour around, rather than paying for the subscription. It's too bad, I want to try the concept, and I'd love to be on a bike as much as possible while I'm there, but it would add up fast.
I'm still very excited to finally visit.

I am very excited that I will be visiting Washington for the first time ever next week! Hurray!

I'm trying to get a sense of how bicycle-friendly it will be. Should I pay for a subscription to the bike share, or just rent a bike one day? Can I get all around the tourist destinations on a bike, or would it be better to just walk?

There isn't much for tourists out there. Can you advise?

Super excited,

Once you start riding bikes, you don't want to stop. So I doubt (and hope) it's not the end of it!

As for Bob Novak and the garbo not being charged... Grr...
