New in Richmond, VA
Richmond, VA
I am a new bike commuter, just started riding again about 4 months ago, 5 miles each way, about 3-4 days a week.
Used to ride when I was younger, I am 50 now and I use it for exercise. Lost 20 lbs as of yesterday.
Interested in commuting discussions, bike advocacy, and I noticed there is a car-free discussion !
I bought a Figi Crosstown 4.0. I seems O.K. but the crank bearing needs to be tightened on a regular basis.
Anyway,
Hello and thanks.

Hello sherob08, does this mean you are car free in Richmond? I think that is amazing, if you are. From what I remember of being there, it would be a difficult task.
Good job on the weight loss, and let's see some photos of your commute .

Ah, you live in the nicer part of town (certainly nicer for cycling ). No, I would not want to go further west--that's the part we went through on our way somewhere else...
! Not bike friendly at all.
