From Marbella to Ojén: Organizing a Motorcycle Ride Against Bullying

Content creator Un Tío de Marbella, along with motor groups Combinaos Marbella and Los Paraditas, have organized a ride to raise awareness about the issue of bullying "and to tell kids who are suffering that they are not alone, that they can count not only on their family or friends, but also on any biker."

This is shared by Pablo, better known as 'Un Tío de Marbella,' someone who weighed over 90 kilograms in his childhood and ended up being one of those "kids" who didn’t want to go to school and didn’t tell anyone about it. The same happened with some of the members of Combinaos and Paraditas. And they have all come together to celebrate the upcoming 'Ruta motera solidaria contra el bullying' (Motorcycle Ride Against Bullying) next Saturday, November 15 starting at 10:00 AM. The event will begin with a gathering in the Arroyo Segundo area, which will host the new fairgrounds of Marbella, south of the La Cañada shopping center, and from there, they will start a march to the fairgrounds of Ojén.

About 350 bikers have confirmed their participation in the initiative, and more are expected to join in the coming days

So far, 350 bikers have confirmed their participation, but "more are sure to do so in the coming days," say the organizers, encouraging motorcycle enthusiasts to join this initiative.

The route was conceived after the social shock caused by the case of Sandra, the 14-year-old girl from Seville who committed suicide on October 14 after suffering from bullying. Since then, cases like the one this week in Marbella involving a seven-year-old girl who had to undergo emergency surgery because her nose was broken at school have highlighted the need to act against bullying. And the bikers, as Pablo says, are "ready to lend a hand."
