Last week, we asked our readers to share advice for beginner bicyclists in Richmond, whether it concerns safe road biking, hitting the best trails, or scoping out accessories + group rides.

We got some great tips to kick things off, but let’s keep the wheels turning. The more local intel shared, the safer + better-off beginner bicyclists will be while navigating the city.

To make things easy, we put together a simple question-and-answer form, also found down below. Pick and choose which questions you want to respond to; just be sure to include your first name + last initial before submitting (for a potential shoutout later).

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Share your No. 1 piece of advice for beginner bicyclists in Richmond.
  • Share your beginner-friendly trail recommendations.
  • Share one piece of safety advice for biking around the city.
  • In your opinion, which Richmond neighborhood is the most bikeable?
  • Any additional advice or recommendations — suggested accessories, bike clubs or events, favorite local bike shops, etc.

Submit your advice

Pro tip: Skip back and forth through the questions by using the up and down arrows at the bottom right of the questionnaire. (You can also go back to edit your responses before submitting.)
