Bullying Ends with Biker Group ‘Bullying Enns’
The combination of bullied children and a group of tough-looking bikers is unlikely, but it works.
Bullying Enns is a biker group founded by Steve Enns last year, and they regularly initiate motorcycle rides to and from school for bullied kids to give them support.

An example would be fourth grader (around 9-10 years old) Paige Rutledge, whose bullying got so worrying her mother Tara had to pull her out of the final month of classes. Tara had also made a post on Facebook detailing the situation, and a kindhearted soul had put her into contact with the biker group.
After some communication between the two parties, the motorcycle group offered a ride and support on the 6th of June.
25 bikers reportedly turned up to transport little Paige around Gibbons in a heartwarming act to stave off the bullying.
“We rode around town, rode by my school and a whole bunch of kids in my school were at the window and their faces were nearly right against it,” Paige exclaimed.
Her mother also spoke to Fort Sask Online: “I started crying cause it was just so heartwarming that there’s people out there that do this. It was truly a blessing.”
“They gave her hugs. Let her know they’re her new friend and they’re there for her if she ever needs them,” added Tara.
The elated mother believed that the support ride could not have come at a better time, and was in awe of the experience.
“There’s just a bunch of guys out there with really big hearts,” Steve Enns told CTV Edmonton. “We’ll hang around at the school and if any kids want to come and see us and talk to us and look at the bikes, they’re more than welcome to that.”
Indeed, these guys have shown that kindness does go a long way in lifting up the spirits of others. Kudos to them, really.
Paige also concluded: “When I grow up, I want to ride with them.”
