We’re celebrating our 5th birthday, and we’re inviting you to be part of it!

Join Girls in Gear for a community bike day celebrating five years of confidence-building, friendship, and joyful riding together - featuring 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-mile marshaled rides on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail.

We welcome riders of all ages, abilities, and wheel types - balance bikes, tricycles, two-wheels, and everything in between. Families are encouraged to join the celebration to ride or cheer everyone on!
