RICH in Community
At Rich City Rides, we create opportunities through cycling. Based in Richmond, California, we are a countercultural 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.
More Than Rides, But WE Love To Ride
About Us
The organization’s vision is to be the hub, nest, and incubator for community bicycling for sustainable transportation, physical and mental health, and human-to-human connections.

OUR PARTNERS
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.
