RICH in Community
At Rich City Rides, we create opportunities through cycling. Based in Richmond, California, we are a counter-culture transportation organization working to protect Mother Earth by transforming how our communities move.
Transportation pollution increases carbon emissions, worsens air quality, contributes to asthma, and adds stress to everyday life. We respond by expanding access to affordable, active, green micromobility and transportation options.
Through cycling, community leadership, and advocacy, we cultivate transit-conscious environmental stewards who care for our city’s most-used public assets: our outdoor spaces, our sidewalks, and our streets.
Together, we are building a healthier, greener, and more just Richmond, one ride at a time.
About Us
We envision a Richmond where everyone can move freely, safely, and sustainably; where community power transforms transportation, streets, parks, and public spaces into pathways to health, opportunity, belonging, and environmental justice.

Community Building
We work with partners to execute programs and actions that exceed the expectations that come with working alone; or with working in a silo.
Together is how we engage and learn from each other — for our mutual growth and for the community.

Protect Two Community Homes
Help secure the future of Richmond’s mobility, wellness, and community power.
Rich City Rides is raising $725,000 by December 31, 2026 to protect 1434 Macdonald Avenue—the future West County Micromobility Hub—and 1525 Ohio Avenue—the future Black Wellness Hub.
Gifts are made to our fiscal sponsor, Urban Tilth, and first support the shared property obligation that keeps both community assets in community hands.
