Shop & Services
The RamBikes Shop provides free bicycle service and education to students, faculty and staff. If you need a tune up or have questions about doing repairs yourself, just drop in during our open hours.
Community Engagement
The past few years, RamBikes has been making a strong effort to connect with and establish partnerships with local community organizations. Through this effort, we have been able to support community programs and initiatives while also sharing biking resources and education.
Bike Registration
VCU students, faculty, and staff are highly encouraged to register their bicycles with the VCU police department. Registration ensures that there is record of your bike in case it ever were to get stolen, making finding it easier and less stressful.

Despite the limitations of the time, we were able to find a creative and engaging solution to still host the Pride Ride in a way that was open and enjoyable to everyone.
