Labor Day weekend offered some local (and some not-so-local) bicyclists the opportunity to get together and try something new--bikepacking! The 52-mile, 2-day, overnight camping trip was developed by the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation and some phenomenal volunteers from our very own Bicycle Co-Op of Williamsburg.

Starting off in Charles City, just past Market 5 at Mile Marker 20, the group rode to the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry where they crossed the river to their campsite at Chippokes State Park.

Of course, not without a stop for some fuel at the beloved Spoke + Art Provisions Co.😋

Stay tuned for more group rides and fun events! 🚵🏕

It's Fri-YAY and we're just weeks away from a Fall Favorite -- Bikes & Beers at Billsburg Brewery!

As the event draws near we're looking for b**r- and bike-loving volunteers to serve at rest stops, registration tables, post-ride assistance, and ride leaders! Receive $10 off registration with code BIKEWALKWILLIAMSBURG 🥳

45-, 30, and 15-mile rides will follow the beautiful into Charles City, with the longer rides passing our friends Market 5.

Come out and join us for a day of fun, community, and of course -- b**r! Details and info available at https://tinyurl.com/BikesandBeersWmbgVA26

Yesterday, on the front page of our local Daily Press, there was an article about the federal push to remove bike lanes. Millions of grant dollars supporting these efforts have been frozen, and there is no guarantee that those funds will be released.

The League of American Bicyclists published a well-written analysis of the New National Roadway Safety Strategy that was published last month. "...missing without explanation is any strategy for the safety of vulnerable road users -- people who bike and walk, use wheelchairs and scooters, or who otherwise are endangered while navigating roads outside of vehicles."

Safe infrastructure for all is at the core of our mission here at BikeWalk Williamsburg. We are grateful for our community who is supportive of an infrastructure that is inclusive for travelers of all types, not just auto drivers.

What are your thoughts on removing bike lanes from public roadways?

Come on, Williamsburg—we can do better than a little ‘Ville in Arkansas!!

There are so many easy ways to improve biking and walking. Let us finally start climbing up the rankings…

Bentonville, Arkansas, built its reputation as one of America's premier destinations for off-road riding. But in 2026, the city earned something new: a City Ratings score of 50 — the highest in Arkansas and a first-time milestone for the community. It's the result of a decade of work connecting neighborhoods through low-stress bike routes, transforming a world-class trail system into a citywide transportation network. Bentonville's rise from a score of 27 in 2018 to 50 today is a blueprint for what sustained, community-driven investment in biking can accomplish. Read more now at https://bit.ly/4v54p6k
