Hundreds grabbed their bikes Wednesday for the first D.C. Pride Ride starting at Dupont Circle.
The seven-mile route Wednesday sent bikers in a loop back to the circle, where they celebrated at gay bar Cobalt.
Capital Pride and D.C. Bike Party teamed up to host the event, one of the first of Pride Week.
D.C. Bike Party organizes monthly bike rides, with themes ranging from Star Wars to cherry blossoms.
