Have you ever ridden a bicycle for a social cause?

I've ridden Bikes-Not-Bombs the last few years, and did the Tour DeCure for almost 10 years.

It's great to be in an environment when we know we are helping a cause and at the same time we do what we love, pretty smart from the organization if you ask me.

When I was in college there was a ride for breast cancer that I was a part of. It was really fun and it was a really big turnout. I remember being really surprised at how many people could pack into a small downtown area. The area was beautiful though so it was perfect for a little ride.

Came here to say something smart-ass. ya'll got it covered already it would seem.
If they had a bike ride to promote the consumption of real beer man I would be all over that.
I might have to float that idea over the the good folks at

Now that's a charity I can get behind!

Actually I did do a bike for cancer once, because it was for an organization that actually really helped someone close to me getting treated for caner.

What, beer charity are you talking about bike? That's another side of it, I would not say no!

I had participated before in charity events and other causes for the environment. I still have not chanced upon anything that would make me use my bike. I guess the people in my place are more into running

i have but it was some time back it was for the local animal shelter. We paid a small fee and it would go to improving the living conditions for the animals.

That's the whole logic behind that. I mean, we pay a fee, we get to ride with friends and we also help a cause, a great day.
