Entries tagged: Rails To TrailsVirginia Bicycling Federation Appears on PBS Show to Promote New TrailWhen an abandoned rail line near Richmond became an illegal dumping ground, the Virginia Bicycling Federation pitched in to clean up the trash. The PBS show, Virgina Currents, was rolling tape as volunteers hauled garbage bags and old furniture out of the woods. Soon, the debris-strewn area will be transformed into a 2.3-mile trail, luring joggers, walkers and cyclists. In the 10-minute segment, the host spoke with Champe Burnley, president of VBF. Check out the beautiful footage of the trail site and the interview with Burnley in the video below. (Segment starts at the two-minute mark.) “Virginia Currents” #1925 from Community Idea Stations on Vimeo.
