ABOUT US

Celebrating good style

We want to provide a platform that extends beyond simply providing bicycles to children. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where adults can also benefit from the transformative power of cycling. By offering access to bicycles, helmets, and safety equipment, we empower adults in Ohio to engage in active transportation, improve their physical fitness, and enhance their overall well-being.

Through community workshops, educational programs, and group rides, we encourage adults to embrace cycling as a sustainable and enjoyable mode of transportation. Whether commuting to work, running errands, or simply enjoying leisurely rides, cycling offers numerous benefits for adults, including reducing stress, improving cardiovascular health, and fostering a sense of community connection.

At Bike Rides Vs Gun Violence, we believe in the importance of holistic wellness for individuals of all ages. By incorporating adults into our program, we create opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, and community engagement. Join us in promoting a healthier, more sustainable future for Ohio communities through the joy of cycling.

"Pedaling for Peace: Choosing Bike Rides Over Violence".

Bike riding is a great way to stay active and healthy while also reducing your carbon footprint. It's a fun and eco-friendly way to get around, and can even save you money on transportation costs. On the other hand, violence can have serious and long-lasting consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator. It's important to choose peaceful and non-violent ways to resolve conflicts and differences.
