WASHINGTON — The annual D.C. Bike Ride is Saturday, and with it comes road closures.

The event features Pedal for a Purpose, a way to raise funds for local nonprofit urban farm Dreaming Out Loud, which is dedicated to providing fresh produce to underserved areas in the nation's capital, and has also donated 200 bikes to D.C. Public School students. If you’re planning on driving around the District this weekend, here’s what you need to know.
