Bike And Brunch Tours

A Bicycle Tour!  Explore Richmond's newest murals by bike, then brunch!

RVA Bike Share (CenterStage)

Murals and public art are one of Richmond&#x27;s newest and biggest points of interest. This bicycle tour gives a unique way to experience this art, the city, its history, and brunch.As a city with one of the largest collections of public art in the United States we now have the unique opportunity to use public art as a tool to bring empathy and connect at a time when we need it the most. This tour will take you on a ride through the beautiful treelined streets of Richmond and into the stories that fuel much of the art, monuments, and spaces of protest and reconciliation - often alongside the artists who created these works. Not only will you have their chance to take in this work but others sites for which Richmond is renowned but we end with a delicious brunch.In the midst of a global pandemic in 2020 America was faced with another brutal killing of a black man at the hands of the police. This set off an uprising that filled our streets with voices of objection. Feelings and demands found their way to walls around the City of Richmond through tags that marked a space for questions and conversations to happen. These actions inspired the artist Hamilton Glass to start the Mending Walls project. The project is now in its second year with more artists, walls, and a documentary emerging.Connect with history, art, and other equally fun and curious like minded people. Join Bike and Brunch Tours for a ride through neighborhoods like Jackson Ward and the Museum District. These and other neighborhoods we tour are steeped in culture and history but also the new home to murals in the Mending Walls project.This tour highlights the stories of trailblazers, residents, and organizations behind or continuing the legacy within these communities. This one of a kind, casual tour aims to exude positive vibes, treat our communities and the residents with respect, and nourish the mind and belly.Ride, see Richmond, have fun….and of course have brunch!NOTE: Ticket sales close 24 hours before each tour or once all spaces are full.
