Basket & Bike Guided tours & bicycle rentals on the Virginia Capital Trail, downtown Richmond, and Williamsburg

Guided tours are hand-crafted bicycle excursions that encompass history, conservation, fitness, and local food and beverages. BASKET & BIKE donates from each ride or rental to our conservation/community partners: Virginia Capital Trail Foundation • VCU Rice Rivers Center • James River Association • Capital Trees • BridgePark RVA. Check out our Downtown tours with RVA on Wheels in the morning or a

t sunset, and tour the holiday lights come December. Tours typically come with a signature snack, glass of wine, and optional add-on lunch. Our Signature Ride has 2 lengths, starting and ending from Upper Shirley Vineyards. We also ride from Williamsburg Winery to the tip of Jamestown Island. Custom itineraries may be crafted for special events or corporate teambuilding, which could include catered luncheons, cocktail spreads, and picnic spreads. Shop online or in-store for a curated selection of stylish bicycle accessories and RVA merch.

This on the was truly unforgettable! Huge thanks to The Browns for joining our Petite Signature Ride on such a stunning autumn morning! We reveled in the crisp air, admired the gorgeous scenery at , and cruised through the vibrant foliage. Highlights included meeting an 83-year-old rider with his grandsons and spotting an owl soaring across the trail. It was truly a fantastic time spent reconnecting with nature, spirits, and ourselves on the trail and along the great river.

It's ! Looking for your next friend date idea? A day on the trail with BASKET & BIKE might be just the thing! Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what one happy rider shared:
“This trip was such a surprising delight! I was apprehensive about the biking mileage goal at my age and fitness level, but it was neither impossible, nor so easy that I was not proud of myself when we finished. It helped that we had a beautiful day and the trail is so lovely in October. The history lessons take the experience to a different level. This is not simply fun exercising and enjoying the beauty of nature along the river, but a flowing classroom of sorts. The culmination at the Upper Shirley Vineyards was just icing on the cake - a picnic with amazing food and wine on the riverbank. I will do it again and the sooner the better!”

Thank you for your review! 🏆🌟
