This event specifically targets foster families in the area, working to ensure as many children as possible receive presents during the holiday season.
"It's about the kids. It's all about those who are less fortunate who we can bring joy to," said rider Estibaliz Stommel.
The hundreds of bikers created temporary traffic congestion in the typically quiet Dunedin neighborhood, but local residents embraced the cause.
Bob Moden, who lives nearby, set up a chair outside his home to watch the procession.
"I'm all for that," Moden said. "They all seem to have a good time, so it's very peaceful."
