A cool evening wind off the Tidal Basin threads through the spokes as your tricycle glides past the Washington Monument; stone and bronze step into the frame one after another. Riding rather than walking changes the pace—sights arrive like chapters: the White House peeking between elms, Lincoln’s seated silhouette framed by colonnades, and the solemn reflective wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial pulling you close.
