Tour de Force - 9/11 Memorial Bike Ride

BISSELL is proud to sponsor as well as have our VP of Sales participate in this year's Tour de Force!

The “Tour de Force” bike ride was started in 2002 as a memorial to the fallen police officers that gave their lives in the September 11, 2001 attacks. The first years ride of ten NYPD police officers and four volunteer support personnel cycled their way from the Pentagon in Arlington, VA to Ground Zero, NYC.

The TDF has now evolved into an annual event in which we continue to ride to remember and honor our brothers and sisters that died that fateful day. In their honor, we have made it our mission to raise funds for families of all police officers nationwide that are killed in the line of duty.

Each September, law enforcement officers from around the country and abroad depart on bicycles and journey approximately 250 miles along the east coast to support this cause. Each and every rider participates in raising funds to support what we all believe is a wonderful and very worthwhile endeavor. It is the belief in our mission that brings so many participants back year after year.

The Tour de Force is a fully supported ride with a dedicated support staff of volunteers. Since our first ride in 2002, we have now grown to more than 150 riders and 20 support team members. A four member Board of Directors is charged with the yearly operations, planning, and facilitation of this non profit organization.
