Bicycling Information
 

Bicycling

Bicycles are welcome in the National Mall and Memorial Parks and bicycle parking is provided near each of the major memorials as well as along the National Mall. Please remember that riding your bicycle is not permitted within the memorials themselves. Please walk your bicycle through the World War II and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorials or lock it up before entering any of the other memorials. Your assistance in preserving a respectful and safe experience for all visitors is appreciated. 

Bicycle rentals are available from Thompson Boat Center located near the intersection of Virginia Avenue, NW and Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, NW, just a short distance north of the Lincoln Memorial along the Potomac River-Rock Creek Trail. For detailed information concerning bicycles in the park, consult the Frequently Asked Questions section within the following link:

View of Garden at the Old Stone House  

Did You Know?
The garden area of the Old Stone House is not reminiscent of a colonial garden but rather an English-style garden. A colonial garden would have been more practical with herbs, vegetables and small livestock.
