Cycling for Charity

Many charities have bike rides to raise funds and awareness. Some will even help you with training for the event. None of the rides are competitive, so you can ride at your own pace and have fun meeting new people and sharing cycling stories. Whether you want to fight hunger, raise money for a cure, honor a loved one, or just get in shape and make a difference.
