WHY WE RIDE:

7-year anniversary of the Great March of Return. The Great March of Return (2018-2019) was a peaceful rally held weekly by the Palestinians along the border of the Gaza strip demanding mobility justice. 32,000 Palestinians were injured, 125 lost their limbs, including many members of the Gaza Sunbirds team.

Since the start of the genocide, cycling communities worldwide have answered the Gaza Sunbirds’ call for solidarity rides, amplifying demands for a ceasefire and a FREE Palestine!

The Great Ride of Return takes its name from the Great March of Return—a ride for justice, dignity, and liberation. Ride with us. Raise your voice. Free Palestine.
