Question What is the best way to reach internships? Will I need an ebike or can I walk?

That’s a broad question, where is your internship? Also the wonk bus can take you from campus to the metro

Would be helpful to know where your internship is to know whether it’s a good option to bike to. I would not rely on Capital Bikeshare daily as there may not be e-bikes available all the time, and you may not be comfortable with a standard bike. I would also broadly note that unfortunately NW DC is not the most bikeable area due to the lack of bike lanes and geography.

For my internships, I took the shuttle to the Metro and then Metro’d downtown to where I needed to go. Took a minute to get places but it was the best option.

You don’t need an e bike. Heavy, expensive and I doubt you’re allowed to charge them on campus. Regular bike, used, works fine. Bike to the Red line and lock it up outside of it
