On this episode of RVA Bike Scene, Sean and I dive into what's going on in Richmond, Virginia's bike events for the week of 4/18/26. From Sean's FREE Short Track mountain bike clinic at Dogwood Dell (Sat 4/17/26) to Bike Month, to a new mini-baby bike lane sweeper, we tried to knock out a few of the events happening.

As always, let us know about your events and happenings.

Content Warning: My audio is horrible--as I recorded my end in my car after attending the new baby bike lane sweeper press event (full episode coming).
