The throngs of tourists combined with the rising temps make mornings the best time to ride in the city these days.

This morning Felkerino and I were en route to coffee and passed by the Lincoln Memorial. It always surprises me how serene the Lincoln is in the early-ish morning. It’s a much different place than the populated tourist spot it becomes in the afternoon.

As we rode, we saw a few tourists and this lovely site.

It was touching to see this romantic couple posing for pictures. However, I still thought the Capital Bikeshare bike silently stole center stage.

What a beautiful morning commute.
