With the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, there cannot be a Great American Bike Rally this year, so co-organizer Dean Bruewer embarked earlier this month on a 300-plus-mile fundraiser to help fill the void. Pictured is Bruewer on Sept. 9, 2020, in Columbus. He arrived in Cleveland on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020. PROVIDED

The Great American Bike Rally was another fundraising casualty amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, but organizers are committed to still have something for the second annual event that supports local charities.

The first thing Dean Bruewer, one of the event’s co-organizers, did was take on sponsors to ride his bike 300-plus miles from Fairfield to the Cleveland Waterfront, which he did this month.
