Since I’m going to Silver Spring, I take the S9 Express, but there are probably better buses to Bethesda–if you’re not sure how to put the bike on the bus, google bike rack bus or something like that, there are several helpful youtube videos.

I am working up to biking back, though–I did it once and was really worried about the uphill climb, but as someone else said, it really isn’t that bad–even for me, who isn’t all that in shape either.

I live near Forest Glen and commute to Metro Center and I do not like the idea of biking in a lot of traffic. For that reason, I start at the start of the Capital Crescent trail, go west to Bethesda and then down to Georgetown. I go across on Pennsylvania from Washington Circle, but to go to Dupont Circle you could go just a tiny bit north on Rock Creek Parkway and then over on P. It’s a bit longer than going straight south on 16th or 14th, , but a beautiful ride when you get down to the river.

If you’re on Forest Glen you could just cross Seminary and the railroad tracks, go down the hill and then south past the Audubon Society and then pick up the Capital Crescent Trail just south of Jones Mill Road.
