Isle of Wight riders will set out to encourage motorists to Pass Wide and Slow, with an awareness event this weekend.
On Sunday, there will be two mass rides - one from Golden Hill Fort near Freshwater, which sets off at 11am, plus a second from Wroxall.
The Pass Wide and Slow campaign started in September 2015, with a petition that has since raised around 150,000 signatures.
It was debated in Parliament on 2016.
The aim is to make drivers aware of taking more care around horses and riders - with frightening statistics showing the dangers of going too fast and too close.
It has grown from 55 rides in 2019 to 150 last year.
The 2021 Isle of Wight rides are among 178 booked for Sunday, September 19, across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
In 2019, the local event was kickstarted with a photo in St Thomas's Square.
