About the event
Unity Ride: Together We Heal
This spring break, Bike Rides vs. Gun Violence invites you to join us for our inaugural Unity Ride—a day of healing, hope, and togetherness for the Akron community. In a city touched by the deep scars of gun violence, we believe that every pedal stroke can be a step toward mending our hearts and rebuilding our bonds.
A Ride for Every Story
Our Unity Ride is more than a bicycle event—it’s a celebration of resilience and unity. We ride for the 3-year-old who lost a father to gun violence, for the grandmother who lost her husband during a simple trip to the market, and for the sister who witnessed the trauma of her brother’s mental health crisis turned violent. We honor every life affected by gun violence, recognizing that behind every statistic is a story of loss, hope, and the desire for change.
