"Bikers Against Bullying"

October 1st , 2013

Wanted to share some awesome people with you:

Biker Against Bullies was started in Missoula, MT to be a support awareness program for the ani-bullying campaigns that already exist in the school system. We let the kids know that Bikers are standing up for a safe environmet in which they are free to thrive and feel safe. We have a quality, weatherproof sticker for the bike or auto that will assist us in increasing the awareness that we, as bikers, care about and protect our children. Opportunities for school engagements are available as well.
