Pune: A group of 140 enthusiast motorcycle riders from various biking clubs in Pune got together to promote Unity Ride. The endeavor was to organize a ride with motorcycle groups from all walks of life in Pune and participate in a fun-filled day comprising of various biking-related activities to better understand each other and establish a strong brotherhood. This year was the second successful year of Unity Ride.

On this occasion, Radon Riders took up the cause of 'Meri Mati, mera Desh' whilst on this unity ride to pay homage to our motherland and fallen soldiers and spread awareness about the campaign. Radon Riders also participated in the Independence Day Rally organized by the Indian Army on the 15th of August at the War Memorial, Pune.
