Cyclists at Washburn: The Ride Against Hate

Cyclists at Washburn started as a club a few years ago at Washburn. Currently, it is an organization on campus that is not very active. But, this week, CAW is hosting a ride, but not just any bicycle ride; it is called the Westboro Ride Against Hate, to advocate tolerance in our community and support people of all sexual orientations.

The ride is to begin at the Washburn Bell Tower, at 7 p.m. this Friday, October 25th. The club is teaming up with members of the Topeka Community Cycle Project for this event. This ride will go through the Westboro neighborhood and past the Equality "Rainbow" House. The ride will end at College Hill's Pizza Pub, where riders can fuel up and hang out for as long as they wish. 

As a member of CAW, I would like to see more rides like this in the future, to not only advocate healthy living and bicycling in Topeka, but to also show support for deeper causes within our community. It gives me joy to do multiple things it love in the same organization.
