DC Public Library supports bicycling culture and infrastructure in Washington, D.C. by offering bike repair workshops, library-themed group rides, and bike-related programming! Each year we partner with local organizations to increase access to bicycles, promote bicycle safety, and encourage D.C. residents to get out and ride. In addition, reading and biking are fun activities for the whole family -- books and bikes are a perfect combination!
Events
DC Public Library is planning a variety of events for
National Bike Month, including another
Tour de DCPL! The 2022 tour will be held on Saturday, May 21, and we'll be offering two options: a group ride starting at Southwest Library and a self-paced tour of DCPL library branches named after noteworthy Washingtonians. Check the
Tour de DCPL page for information on this year's Tour and to explore route maps and photos from past rides.
Watch this space for more information, and check out our calendar for the full listing of
National Bike Month programming.
