Cycling is one of the most practical ways to explore Alexandria and the surrounding riverside routes, with direct access to long, traffic-light trails running alongside the Potomac. Riding from Old Town allows you to link historic streets, waterfront views and green corridors without needing to navigate busy roads.
A varied fleet is available to suit different riding styles, including comfort hybrids, eBikes, mountain bikes and family-friendly options such as tandems and children’s attachments. Helmets and essential accessories are provided as standard, making it easy to collect a bike and head straight out onto the trail.
Alongside self-guided rentals, guided rides and group experiences are available for those looking for structure or local insight. With flexible hire periods ranging from a single day to a full week, cycling works well whether you’re planning a short waterfront ride or longer days exploring the Mount Vernon Trail and surrounding areas.
