Rip’s B.A.D Ride—Bikers Against Diabetes—is a motorcycle fundraising ride and family festival of the American Diabetes Association. This event unites the biker nation in the fight against diabetes with a full day of great riding, big entertainment, delicious food, lots of activities and a good vibe!

The B.A.D Ride was started in Southern California by Rip Rose, a biker and photojournalist for Easyriders, who wanted to bring the biker nation together in the fight against diabetes. Today, that dream is a reality—every year thousands of bikers join the movement to Stop Diabetes by participating in this fun event.

Each ride has multiple start locations, where riders meet in the morning, hang out, and begin an escorted ride to the final destination. Don’t feel like being part of the pack? Sleep in and ride over directly to the festival site!
