Hi all. Could anyone recommend a shop for renting a road bike around the Richmond, VA area? I'll be staying in Aylett and figured Richmond would be my best bet for finding a rental to get in some pedaling while I'm there. (Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question, but after some googling and searching BF I couldn't find an answer.)

Come to think of it, does anyone have a good suggestion for routes around that area?

Thanks for any advice/info you can provide.

My favorite riding is east out Old Osbourn Turnpike towards Varina. RABA has rides all around though.

Can't help with the bike rental, though.

Thanks Tulip. I'll reach out to RABA and see if they might know of a shop. Crossing my fingers that I can get some riding in! (I'd pack my bike, but my wife and I will be loaded down with kids, car seats, etc., so that's pretty much not an option.) Again, muchas gracias.

good luck and good riding! You driving from Cali? Ouch.

Nope -- flying. The car seats are for the rental car. We've done some long road trips with the munchkins, but nothing that long! :lol:
