Our 10-year celebration wouldn't have been possible without the amazing organizations, local vendors, and partners who helped us deliver an exceptional experience for thousands of riders.

From the Packet Pickup Party to the Finish Festival, DC Bike Ride is proud to partner with brands that reflect our city pride!

During the event weekend, Dig Inn provided mouthwatering meals to over 100 volunteers, and 🛠️ Conte's Bike Shop had our backs (and bikes!) with free safety checks and mobile mechanics. Giant Food and 🍫 Kate's Real Food fueled riders at every rest stop with their delicious and nutritious snacks. Waymo led the way as our lead safety vehicle for the ride, and we will never forget the energy that Metro Forward and their cheering squad brought to mile 19

Our Finish Festival was a place of true celebration, with bike parking by , the , photo booths, a test track hosted by , giveaways from , games from visitPA, samples from several vendors, and more!

And we can’t thank our Presenting Partners enough for their support since the very beginning of the Ride - CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Events DC. It's an honor to celebrate 10 years of our partnerships - thank you!

Beyond the miles, the smiles, and the car-free streets, the true magic of DC Bike Ride has always been the impact we leave behind. 🚲 ❤️

Over the last 10 years, riding together has meant giving back together. Because of this incredible community, DC Bike Ride has been able to champion street safety, empower young riders, and support DC families when they needed it most.

Here is a look at what we've accomplished together off the course over the last decade:

🤝 $100,000+ donated to Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) to directly support street safety and advocacy in the region.
🚴 Thousands of sponsored riders welcomed to the course, making cycling accessible and inclusive for everyone!
🍲 Essential meal distributions through our Pedal For A Purpose program to fight food insecurity in the District.
🎓 700+ bikes, locks, and helmets donated to DCPS students through our Graduation on Wheels initiative, giving young cyclists their very first taste of riding freedom.

Every pedal stroke you take helps build a safer, healthier, and more connected DC.
Thank you for rolling with us, giving back, and proving that DCBR is about so much more than "just a ride". Let’s make our 10th anniversary our most impactful year yet! 🎉
