LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Bike riders from all over gathered Saturday morning for the annual ‘' bicycle ride. The event is a fundraiser held each year in support of the Meers Volunteer Fire Department. It started in 1989, and has seen anywhere between 500 and 700 riders each year. Some have even come from across the country. One of the event's organizers said outside of the ride's cause, she hopes riders will develop an appreciation for Southwest Oklahoma. 'I just hope people get out of this how beautiful Southwest Oklahoma is,' Cindy Zelbst said.
