From WHEELIE GOOD CAUSE
Wheelie Good Cause, an area 501(c)(3) organization, invites cyclists to ride for a cause at any of its bicycle events this summer.
According to co-founder and chairman Dan Goeder, Wheelie Good Cause is dedicated to supporting cancer research/treatment, and inspiring healthier lifestyles through cycling events. The mission focuses on advancing cutting-edge cancer research and treatment at The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute in Columbus and supporting the local Toledo community through the life-changing services provided by the Victory Center.
These events bring together a community of riders, supporters, and families who share the vision of ending cancer while supporting the survivors, fighters, and their loved ones while honoring the memory of those who have lost their battle.
This year’s rides include two of the events based out of Bowling Green.
This Friday, June 12, Brewing Green, 322 N. Grove St., is the check-in site for the ride. Check-in is at 6 p.m. with roll-out at 6:30 p.m. Riders can choose from an 8-mile route or 20-mile route.

The beginnings of Wheelie Good Cause originated in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past five years, the rides have raised $3,500 for The Jamees Cancer Hospital. In 2025, the founders met again to discuss the annual ride and decided to expand their efforts by creating a 501(c)(3) organization. In 2026, they recognized the impact that the Victory Center is having in our local community and have committed to supporting their efforts as well.
