On this episode of the RVA Bike Scene, I’m diving into a series called RVA Bike Shops, which is what it sounds like. We’re checking out as many of the cool bike shops in the region–and we have a ton.

For this one, Field Trip Bikes, it’s mostly audio because I did a story on this cool new bike shop for Richmond Magazine’s October issue. In the future, I’ll be riding my bike to a lot of these and posting them on my YouTube channel IanStewartCycles. Field Trip will be included.

You may already know Joel Alford–he also owns ReCycles Bike Shop on Cary Street, just past Carytown. Field Trip has taken root in Churchill across the street from Triangle Park. The building is also no stranger to housing bike shops either, having once housed Wheel Simple Bicycle Repair and Cyclus.
