Actually, I main Riven, and IMO Cho is a very safe pick against her, but you should take flash (there really isn't any reason not to) and play VERY SAFE until you finish your Glacial Shroud.

Most good Riven players will try to FB you at level 1, so ask for an early gank or try to not commit too much to caster minion cs.

If Riven doesn't kill you pre-6 you will outsustain her and once you get enough armor (aka. Frozen Heart) she can't touch you. Just be careful of jungle ganks, and ward the river since Riven loves roaming against passive lanes.

Kennen and Renekton are also good counterpicks against Riven, since Kennen can kite her pretty hard (just don't commit to a fight unless you're pretty sure you can win it) and while Renekton has a pretty hard time at levels 1 and 2, you can outsustain and zone her pretty hard at level 3 onwards, since she can't trade with you.
