Bicycles Change Lives
Transport and development go hand-in-hand. Virtually everything traded, must be transported, and almost everyone needs wheels to get to work or school. Simple, affordable transport generates wealth in developing countries, as well as saving lots of time and back-breaking work.
In Britain, millions of bikes are thrown away or lie unused in sheds, whilst many people in Africa have no access to transport of any kind. Walking can take up-to 4 hours per day (collecting water, or walking to school). The burden can cripple a family, hampering work and education opportunities. A bicycle cuts travel time to a fraction, even carrying passengers and heavy loads. Bikes give families the extra time to earn, learn and enjoy life.
News: Raleigh Offer
Submitted by Merlin on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 16:15.
Donate your old bike for Re-Cycling to help Africa. Raleigh, the UK’s No.1 bicycle brand, has teamed up with Re~Cycle. Raleigh’s aim is to encourage more people enjoy the freedom and health benefits of riding their bikes, whilst supporting a fantastic cause. As an incentive to customers re-cycling their bike for a newer Raleigh or Diamondback model, participating retailers will offer up to £30 off the recommended retail price.
Derek Balcombe from Re-Cycle said; “we are delighted to be teaming up with such a household name as Raleigh. Their contribution of bikes being sent to Africa will literally change lives”.
