(Central News Agency Reporter Pan Chih-yi, Taipei 7th) Bicycle giant Giant Group today announced the return of its own brand's annual grand event, the "Ride Like King" charity cycling, now in its 18th year. This will be the first global charity cycling event since the passing of the group's founder, "Uncle Biao" King Liu, earlier this year.
Giant explained that the "Ride Like King" charity cycling event is a historic milestone, co-organized by Zwift, which has a cycling team organization, and World Bicycle Relief (WBR).
Giant stated that the 18th "Ride Like King" charity cycling event will hold warm-up races on Zwift from May 11th to 14th, and "Legacy Rides" from May 15th to 17th.
At the same time, community rides initiated by distributors, brand ambassadors, and global local teams of Giant's brands, Giant and Liv, will simultaneously take place in major cities worldwide, with Giant Group's global headquarters in Taichung serving as the symbolic core of the event.
Giant pointed out that this year's charity cycling event theme, "Ride the Legacy. Ride Like King.", continues King Liu's lifelong belief that "bicycles have the power to make the world better." "Ride Like King" has evolved from an annual cycling extravaganza into a global movement, aiming to honor King Liu's vision of achieving a healthier, happier, and more sustainable future through cycling.
