Sober Bikers United - Clean and Sober Motorcycle Riding Community
Sober Bikers United was founded in 1999 as a family-oriented social association dedicated to promoting a clean and sober biker lifestyle. Our organization fosters fellowship among motorcyclists in recovery while welcoming supporters who share our values. We operate as a self-supporting nonprofit through membership dues, merchandise sales, and community events. Our bylaws, established in 2003, ensure legal protection and long-term sustainability while maintaining our core mission. We emphasize personal responsibility, neutrality toward recovery programs, and respect for all motorcycle clubs.Our national runs and local chapters provide opportunities for connection without mandatory participation. We maintain a registered trademark for our distinctive logo and enforce strict neutrality policies regarding affiliations. Our volunteer leadership board ensures compliance with Florida nonprofit laws while facilitating growth through state representatives and chapter coordinators. We prioritize transparency in operations, including financial reporting and public meeting minutes. Our 501(c)(7) status since 2005 confirms our commitment to social purposes without profit motives.
