My favorite is in Arlington because it is kid-based, Phoenix Bikes. But there are also great things going on in bikey DC for you/your friend to get involved in -- the Washington Area Bicyclists Assn (WABA) has an awesome Women in Bicycles group, and a mission to spread the biking gospel all over the city. They have a particular interest in spreading biking east of the river (EOTR) in the traditionally underserved neighborhoods. There's so much excitement.
Momoko -- if you're just visiting,we have Capital Bikeshare and that might take care of your needs.
Jon -- for your friend, have her look into http://www.thebikehouse.coop/ or www.phoenixbikes.org (Arlington) or http://velocitycoop.org/ (Alexandria). Tell her to get connected with the Women in Bikes group with WABA. So many fun, cool things going on with them!
