For maintenance workshops: You don't need to bring a bicycle, but if you have specific questions or fixes please bring yours!
For learn to ride workshops: No bicycle necessary, we'll teach you on one of ours.
For commuter basics and rides: Please bring your own bicycle to ride if you'd like to join the tour. These group rides will be lead by the staff, and will be around the campus and Fan area of Richmond. If you want to go on more evening group rides around Richmond check out the list above. These two rides will specifically be beginner rides, to introduce riding on streets in a safe way.

Mobile Bike Repair
While the weather is nice out RamBikes participates in events and offers mobile bike repair in various parts of the campus and city. A mobile bike repair cart, complete with a home mechanic stand and tools to fix your ride will show up. We also bring with us our Bikebrary, which holds free educational literature on D.I.Y. repairs and cycling in the city, free multi-tools and patch kits as supplies last, and other information about bike resources in Richmond.
RamBikes enjoys participating in VCU events as well as community events or all kinds. If you'd like us to offer mobile bike repair and information at your event please call us at (804) 828-2453 or email rambikes@vcu.edu.
