Good luck! Be safe and enjoy the ride. Once you get hooked you’ll not want to drive into DC again.

I bike to work and metro home - I love it!!! It gets me out in the sun and fresh air each morning and is a blissful 30 minutes when I'm not staring at a screen or in a meeting. And then I metro home at the end of the day. I bike in my work clothes except on the hottest days, when I change shirts.

The trickiest parts are before/after the Capital Crescent. For before I would look for the Bethesda Trolley trail. For after I go down to the Mall and then cut up but that might be too far out of your way.

Agree that one-way is an easy way to start and the bikeshare is the easiest way to bike one way (again, if you have a bikeshare near your home and near your office).
