The H.E.R.O. Bandana
More than just SWAG

The creators of the HERO project wanted to promote HIV Awareness and Prevention by giving something away to the riders that would help them make a statement, and to give them a reason to talk about HIV/AIDS. Whatever that gift was, it had to be useful, cycling-related, customizeable, durable, easy to carry and inexpensive.

After looking into everything from butt-balm to wrist bands, the bandana seemed like the obvious choice. They're easy to carry, hard to lose, and you can keep them for years before they'll ever wear out.

The red color with The HERO Creed printed on one side gave the bandana a higher purpose, and a personal connection to all who recieved it.

Not everyone on the ride was able to get a bandana, but you can get one now just in time for Christmas. Click the banner below to get one for yourself, or a loved one. Hurry- supplies are limited!
