About this Event

Ever thought about biking for transport in RVA but were intimidated by the idea?

Want to avoid needing to park every time you dine or shop in Shockoe?

This ride is for you!

It's very normal to bike for recreation but not know how to safely bike on the road, what roads are safe and how to connect your route to meaningful destinations.

This bike tour is here to help you learn the basics of biking as transportation.

We'll start with a brief presentation about

  1. Shockoe's thriving business scene
  2. Transportation connections into and out of Shockoe
  3. Bike safety basics

If you're already an expert rider, this is your opportunity to invite a friend who'd like to learn how to ride on the road.
