About this app

BikeMap DC is the community-curated cycling map for the Washington, D.C. metro area — built by riders, for riders. Whether you're commuting from Silver Spring, racing across the Key Bridge, or rolling along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, BikeMap DC puts every protected lane, every Capital Bikeshare dock, every fix-it stand, and every water fountain on one fast, ad-free map.

WHAT'S ON THE MAP

• 5,500+ bike-infrastructure segments — protected lanes, conventional bike lanes, contraflow lanes, bus/bike lanes, shared lanes (sharrows), signed routes, off-street trails, unpaved trails, and mountain bike trails. The same 9-category legend used by goDCgo.

• 5,700+ points of interest — bike parking, Capital Bikeshare stations, fix-it stands, bike shops, water fill stations, public restrooms, Metro stations, MARC and VRE commuter rail, DC rec centers, and DC landmarks.

• 1,700+ cyclist crash locations from four years of MPD Vision Zero data — see where the dangerous intersections are before you ride.

• Full coverage of DC plus Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Tysons, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Capitol Heights, College Park, Hyattsville, New Carrollton, and Suitland.

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS
