I moved to Richmond after years in DC. Richmond is becoming a better place to ride a bike; DC was really a good place to ride, and it's gotten even better since I left. I don't venture to the Glenside/Short Pump or even Willow Lawn unless absolutely necessary, though, especially on a bike. The roads parallel to Broad are good to ride on. My commute takes me from the East End to the Fan, and I use all side roads and it's a beautiful and efficient ride. I'm really looking forward to some actual bike lanes coming soon, though.
