Safe biking in Richmond metro region is still years away [Video]

Richmond resident Doug Allen has been biking in the city for about two decades. His bike was his main means of transportation in college when he couldn’t afford a car. He decided to keep using his bike after he graduated.

“I did have a car for a couple of years. It was nice to have, but I had already figured out how to get around on a bike. That’s the hard part,” Allen said. “I was glad to eventually get rid of it because of the inconveniences that come with a car between parking and gas.”
