The DC Metro region contains a network of nearly 400 automated bicycle rental stations for residents and visitors through the Capital Bikeshare system.  Bicycles rented from one station may be returned to any station within the system.  The Lee-Fendall House is only two blocks away from the Capital Bikeshare station at St Asaph and Pendleton streets.  For more information, visit Alexandria’s Capital Bikeshare page.
