Richmond is for Bikers


RICHMOND, Va. – For Scott Williams, when it comes to making a decision on how he commutes to campus, the advantages of biking to Virginia Commonwealth University outweigh the disadvantages.

“I get to speed, get to break traffic rules, there are no parking tickets, and not having the hassle of finding a parking space,” said Williams, a cyclist and student at VCU.

Brandon Manley, another cyclist and VCU student agrees.


“It can be nice because you don’t have to worry about finding parking around campus.”


These are some motives people choose to bike in the city of Richmond and Kimberly Likens Perry, executive director of Bikewalkvirginia.org, presents other reasons.
