Event: Cycle 4 Re-Cycle, from 1 September 2023 to 30 September 2023
We’re challenging you to cycle 40, 200 or 400 miles in 30 days. From the 1st to 30th September, we are asking you to jump on your bike and take on the challenge of riding one of three distances for Re-Cycle.

Story

Every time we send a container to our partners in Africa we fill it with around 500 bicycles, spare parts, and tools. It costs £32 to send each bicycle to Africa.

This summer we are asking for your support. Help us raise funds so we can continue to send bicycles to Africa, and change lives.

For many African people a bicycle is their only mode of transport and our bicycles have been a lifeline for many people, especially during the global pandemic. A bicycle can be used to carry passengers and heavy loads, giving families the extra time to earn, learn and enjoy life.

We collect used bicycles in the UK and we ship them, in containers, to people who need them in Africa. Some people living in rural African communities walk miles everyday to reach water, school, work or healthcare. Bikes are a sustainable mode of transport and help change lives for many families.
