O Club organizes a repetitive Rally Paper by bikes aiming to promote & preserve the natural environment. Their target is to carry this idea all over Lebanon and their goal is to raise environmental awareness. They vary their themes every year to attract more Lebanese toward environmental activities within different Lebanese cities and villages. In doing so, they cooperate with official institutions, NGOs, businesses and other private sectors. In addition, they also highlight the advantages and positive effects of rally papers by bikes over our physical health and the natural world around us.

They have previously organized a “Rally Paper By Bikes” event, with the Municipality of Jdeideh and the cooperation of many prestigious sponsors. They are now organizing a consecutive "Rally Paper by Bikes" event in Beirut on September 23, 2012 under the theme “Be the Solution to Water Pollution”. This event will be launched from Ain el Mraisseh, reaching Ramlet el Bayda, Unesco, and Gemayze. Through these different areas, they will be encouraging environmental awareness and focus on water pollution and highlight the importance of clean water for a healthier lifestyle. 

The Rally will be divided into stations. The participants, also divided into teams, will search for these stations relying on a specific map. The stations will have different roles. 70% of the stations will focus on the theme directly; water pollution which will be organized with the collaboration and support of OBBA (Operation Big Blue Association). The other 30% of the stations are distributed as competitive sports games, general knowledge, missions to accomplish, and other fun activities revolving around the Rally theme and other outdoor topics.
