Welcome, to the 4th annual DC Bike Ride!

May 18, 2019

As Mayor of Washington, DC, it is my pleasure to welcome the participants of the Fourth Annual DC Bike Ride!

Washington DC has one of the largest and most welcoming biking communities in the country. I am very proud that the District has earned a Gold Bicycle Friendly Community status, which was awarded through a rigorous application and vetting process by the League of American Bicyclists.

DC Bike Ride is an inclusive and diverse leisure ride that ofers peple of all ages and biking abilities the change to enjow a day riding their bikes through the beautiful views of the Distrit’s car-free streets.

During your ride, I hope ou enjoy our diverse neighborhoods as well as the memorials and monuments and I certainly invite you to enjoy all that our city has to ofer.

On behalf of the residents of Washington, DC, I wish you an enjoyable and successful event.

Muriel Bowser Mayor, District of Columbia

MAYOR WELCOME LETTER 5 Dear DC Bike Ride Participants,

This is your day to enjoy the Nation’s Capital in a unique car-free environment. We are grateful to have a diverse spectrum of riders joining us from throughout the greater Washington, D.C. region and across the United States. A special welcome as well to all of our international participants. Along the route, riders will experience the beautiful sights of our city alongside fun activities, and music reflecting DC’s culture and our growing bicycling community.

I would like to thank Mayor Bowser, the District of Columbia Council, the District Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as all of the City and Federal agencies and ofces that have worked to make this event possible.

Your participation in this event helps raise significant dollars for the Washington Area Bicyclist Association’s bicycle education and street safety programs, which aim to reduce trafc related fatalities and build a safer environment for all. DC Bike Ride has raised over $100,000 since 2016 in support of these important community programs.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to our generous partners, including our presenting sponsors CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Events DC. A sincere thank you is also in order to the hundreds of volunteers who are helping support all of the DC Bike Ride activities.

Finally, I would like to thank you, the participants, for joining us today. We hope that when you complete your 20-mile journey, it empowers you with a sense of pride that you are part of a growing audience of recreational bicyclists who are transforming the way biking is thought of in present day.

On behalf of DC Bike Ride, I ofer my best wishes for a wonderful, safe and enjoyable ride.

Sincerely,

Greg Bibb

DC BIKE RIDE WELCOME LETTER 6 Glad to see you at DC Bike Ride!

It has been exciting to see this event grow as more people start to enjoy cycling as a great form of recreation for all ages, a sport and an efcient mode of transportation. After the winter we had, I know that riders of all ages are eager to get outside and enjoy the scenery along the closed DC Bike Ride course through the District.

Much has changed since last year. We continue to expand the Capital Bikeshare program and bicycle parking. Capital Bikeshare, which is one of the largest bikesharing systems in the United States, turned eight this year and averages more than 10,000 trips per day. The multi-jurisdictional system ofers more 4,300 bikes at more than 500 stations.

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has installed more than 400 bike racks across the District of Columbia and nearly 20 new Capital Bikeshare stations. DDOT also launched and expanded a dockless vehicle program for bikes and scooters to expand transit options in the District.

Washington, D.C. is ranked second nationally among large cities for the percentage of residents who bike to work and we take pride in cultivating a world-class transportation system that not only serves the people who live, work, and visit this city, but also makes the city more livable, sustainable, and prosperous. We now have 10 miles of protected bike lanes, 75 miles of bike lanes in our citywide network, and 60 miles of trails, including new protected cycletracks on 4th St. NE and K St. NW.

While we continue to grow the number of people bicycling in the city, DDOT remains focused on the Vision Zero Initiative, Mayor Muriel Bowser’s goal of achieving zero fatalities and serious injuries to travelers of our transportation system. We cannot thank DC Bike Ride enough for their support of the initiative. It is through partnerships like this that we advance safety for all our road users in the District. I wish you all a safe and enjoyable ride.
