Re-Cycle (Bikes to Africa) receives used bikes and spare parts from the UK and ships them to rural communities in Africa. 649 million people live in rural communities in Africa, and many of these people must walk long distances to reach crucial services and social support networks.

Across the UK, thousands of bikes are thrown away or lie unused in sheds and garages, whilst many people in Africa do not have access to any form of transport. The charity has sent over 130,000 bikes to Africa since being in operation.
