Rich City Rides creates community-powered pathways to healthier people, safer streets, greener neighborhoods, and greater freedom of movement across Richmond.
How we move change
From a first bike or e-bike to youth leadership and resident-led park advocacy, our programs pair direct support with long-term community change. Explore a program and find your way to ride, learn, lead, or get involved.

E-Bike Lending Library
Borrow an e-bike, join community rides and classes, and build hands-on maintenance skills through our community-centered lending and road-to-ownership programs at Unity Park.
RichPEP is a Black and Brown resident-led effort to identify park inequities and advance equitable funding, staffing, and improvements for Richmond’s parks and outdoor spaces.
Young people gain hands-on experience in civic, environmental, and community projects while developing real-world skills for college, careers, and community leadership.
Community members can earn a free refurbished bicycle by joining rides or volunteering, while building bike skills, confidence, connection, and lasting mobility independence.
