The National Coalition Against Domestic Vio-

rience domestic violence annually in the United
States.
The stationary bike ride to bring awareness to
the cause was available for all skill levels.
“Anyone can ride,” Long said. “Typically, if
you feel like you just want to be involved in the
cause, just sit on a bike and ride. If you feel like,
‘Hey, I take classes on a regular basis and I want
to take full advantage of this opportunity and get
a workout in while I’m making a statement,’ then
you have the option of taking it to a higher level.
Everyone is welcome.”
Annette McCleod, with Army Community
Service, characterized the ride as a “good event
with excellent turnout” that was part of support
offered by Fort Jackson for abuse victims.
