The Rosie RIDE

Meet at the Richmond Greenway (6th and Ohio Ave.)
On Saturday, May 11th, Rich City RIDES will host the Rosie RIDE - a historic trip through Richmond. Rich City RIDES will take all interested bikers to several celebrated locations throughout Richmond that were established during the 1940’s to support the United States during World War II, an era that sparked a dramatic growth in the City of Richmond. The ride will feature commentary by Andres Soto and will begin with community gardening and bike powered smoothies at 10:00 AM, courtesy of Urban Tilth. The ride will leave from the Richmond Greenway (6th Street & Ohio Avenue) at 12:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to learn about Richmond’s rich history in a healthy, fun way.

Richmond Ride of Silence
Wednesday, May 15th, 5:00 PM
Meet at Civic Center Plaza
The Richmond Ride of Silence is a slow, quiet ride to honor those who have been seriously hurt or killed while bicycling in Richmond. The ride will traverse areas that the City of Richmond is planning to improve to be safer for cyclists. Held the week following Bike to Work Day during National Bike Month, the Ride of Silence aims to raise community awareness that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways and ask that we all share the road. Bicyclists are asked to travel no faster than 12 miles an hour, observe the rules of the road, and remain largely silent. Helmets are required. All members of the community are welcomed and encouraged to join the ride.
