It could be the year round warm climate, or it might be the freedom of the open road, but motorcycle culture is fully embraced in Southwest Florida, and the lure of two-wheeled thunder calls out to our spirit of adventure. The city of Fort Myers and Cape Coral have even been snared, and as a result have organized monthly Bike Night events to encourage camaraderie between bikers. Through the meet-ups, motorcycle clubs, such as Rolling Thunder or Chrome Divas, help to better our community by organizing fundraiser rides for charities, such as Veterans Associations and the March of Dimes. The charity rides seek to gain awareness for the cause from the general population. After all, few can resist rubber-necking when a group of bikers roar down our palm tree-lined streets.
