THE STORY
In 2012, Ashlee Taylor’s stepdad, Glenn, was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident that left him hospitalized and fighting to survive. During his recovery, Glenn would often describe himself, with a mix of humor and humility, as “just one broken biker.” Those words resonated deeply with Ashlee, capturing the personal struggles of injured riders everywhere.
Determined to help her family during this challenging time, Ashlee teamed up with her close friend Elle. Together, they organized an event to rally the community and raise support for Glenn and their family. What began as a small, heartfelt initiative quickly grew into something much bigger than they ever imagined.
That first event brought bikers together in an overwhelming show of support, and its success sparked a realization: this wasn’t just about one rider—it was about all injured riders. Ashlee and Elle’s efforts turned into an annual event, and before long, One Broken Biker grew into a national movement, supporting multiple injured riders each year.
Today, One Broken Biker has grown far beyond its humble beginnings, now providing support to over 200 injured riders annually. The organization is 100% volunteer-run and continues to be driven by the same passion and community spirit that started it all.
From Glenn’s words in a hospital room to an organization making a difference across Canada, One Broken Biker stands as a testament to the power of compassion, community, and action. All because of one broken biker, thousands of lives have been touched, proving that together, we ride stronger.
