@scottsdaletravelchick 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there Fletcher. All the bikes (especially non city bikes) have locks w them. So, you can simply lock them up in any out of the way place. For the larger museums, etc, they will have dedicated bike racks.

Hi Elizabeth. Yes, any rental bikes would include locks and the city bike system has various kiosk locations around the area to relock up your bike. Then you can ‘check it out’ again once you’re ready to go.

@scottsdaletravelchick 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Awn I expect most rental bikes, either from a hotel or rental shop, include a bike lock. There are bike racks around or you can really just lock them anywhere they are out of the way. For the DC bike rental, you should lock them back up at a nearby kiosk (they have an app w real time map of all locations).

Pretty irresponsible to recommend NOT visiting the holocaust museum. Life is full of depressing things, but if we avoid learning about them we’re doomed to repeat them. A warning about the holocaust museum would be appropriate, but recommending avoiding it is inappropriate.
