Why Mobilized Communities
While growing up, I cycled everywhere. School, doctor, jobs, you name it. Could I have taken some form of public transport instead? Sure! But cycling was often more convenient and gave me more freedom.
Now, imagine there is no public transport system. School is a four hour walk away. The next well to fetch some water? Ten kilometers. The doctor? A days march.
In this case a bicycle is so much more than just a convenience. It becomes a necessity. A bicycle gives individuals in rural developing regions the chance to overcome the barrier of distance, connecting them with education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
For this reason I want to support the Word Bicycle Relief with my Project 100 Bikes, a solo ride spanning 11.000 km through North America and Mexico.

Let's raise 14.700€ together and donate 100 life-changing bicycles!
29€ already buys a wheelset, 49€ a tool set and 147€ one bike. Every donation counts!
