Members of the Laidback Bikers Motorcycle Club braved the chill, last Sunday, to bring smiles to the faces of residents at Filadeldia Ark, in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

The bikers set out on a charity ride from Mintys Sasol, in Bedfordview, to Pretoria, to donate about eight tons of goods to the charity.<\/p>

Included in the donations were food, clothing, bedding, cleaning materials and tools.<\/p>\n

The motorcycle club, based in Primrose, has been in existence since 2012 and currently has 30 members.<\/p>

President Mike da Silva and First Lady and secretary Sue told the GCN that they are a family-orientated club.<\/p>\n

“We are always looking for new members so, if you are looking for a friendly, relaxed ride, you are welcome to join us,” Mike said.<\/p>\n

He added that the members try to do charity rides at least every one to two months and that they support various charities.<\/p>\n

For this event, the club had a number of sponsors who assisted them by donating goods to the cause.<\/p>\n

Mike thanked all of them for their support.<\/p>\n

The sponsors are: Paint Trade Meadowdale; Pick n Pay Primrose; Aquazania Waters; Central Building Supplies; Road Lab; Torque Racing; Namaspaar Lounge; Commercial Pawn 24; EFPS; Mintys Sasol; Rina’s Creations; M&S Magic; Temaris Branding; Inner City Inks and all the members of the club.<\/p>\n

The bikers enjoyed the ride and felt humbled by the gratitude of the Filadeldia Ark residents.<\/p>\n
