The Richmond Area Bicycling Association (RABA) has been offering cyclists of all levels and abilities many ways to enjoy their favorite pastime for more than 50 years. We’ve listed some of the benefits below.

• • This is RABA’s most important benefit! There are organized, regularly scheduled road rides (Click the RIDE CALENDAR and WEEKLY RIDE LOCATIONS links or see them in the RIDE top menu bar item) on weekdays and weekends. There is at least one ride every day of the year! Ride leaders are experienced and friendly and make efforts to make sure riders who want to ride at similar paces are grouped together. Riders have access to complete information (maps and/or cue sheets) about the ride.
  • There may be impromptu rides (notices are sent or are available to members only).
  • There is a monthly newsletter, The Pedaler, containing schedules, activities and articles pertaining to all cyclists.
  • Members are able to access the club’s account at RideWithGPS using that site’s premium level features for club ride routes and more.
  • Members have an opportunity to keep track of their cycling mileage and participate in the club’s Cycling Awards/Challenges program.
  • There are member discounts for events like the Heart of Virginia Bike Festival and the Ride for Bikes for Kids Fundraiser.
  • Members are eligible for Discounts at bike shops and other businesses.
  • RABA offers Catastrophic medical insurance to members while on club rides.

We’re also very active in the community by way of charitable concerns. such as our RABA Grants and Bikes for Kids programs,  and governmental advocacy efforts. We’d love to have you join us! Our rides are open to the public so give us a try.
