Try an E-Bike #3 RSR Bridge Ride
Join us on our final e-bike focused rides by biking across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to Pickleweed Park. This ride is designed to help familiarize people with commuting across the bridge. Our certified instructors will lead the group over the bridge to San Rafael and back, and for those who are curious about ebikes, our friends at RAD Power Bikes will supply you with a loaner e-bike and helmet.
This event is made possible with funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

We’ll stop and rest at this point, before returning to Richmond BART along the same path we took to get to the park.Â
