Our Programs

Movement. Access. Leadership. Belonging.

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.
