Techbikers 2019 - Pietro goes on a techbike ride part 3 - Fundraise for World Bicycle Relief

Update #1

5 years ago

Hi Folks,

This year I will be on my bike again for the 3rd time, riding from the Baltic Coast to Berlin over 3 days, raising money for World Bicycle Relief, a great charity which mobilizes people around the world through The Power of Bicycles.

Over the past 10+ years, 455k+ Buffalo bikes have been deployed either through philanthropic distributions or social enterprise sales. Donating 134€ supports 1 bike.

This year’s donations will finance a designated education program for Kanyangala Community School in Kafue District, Zambia. Kanyangala is located in a poor community without access to electricity, running water or mobile network, and it doesn´t receive any support from the district or government.

Pictures and updates will of course be provided.

Thanks!
Pietro

Why Bicycles for Education

The Techbikers idea was born on the Google Campus in 2012 reaching out to the tech community to put down their laptops and pick up a bike. 40 riders, three days and 450 km - it's all about networking, sharing ideas, spreading the start-up vibe, taking on a physical challenge and equally important: creating social impact.

As entrepreneurs in the tech community we want to take responsibility and stand up for social change in the world. This year, the riders will enter new terrain: from the Baltic Sea to Berlin. We will give our best to conquer all challenges as a group and to raise funds for less fortunate people in the developing world.

Our goal is to raise 40,000 Euro for World Bicycle Relief to mobilize school children in rural Zambia with robust bicycles that give them access to education. Many of them have to walk long distances to school, they arrive late, not regularly and tired, if they make it to school at all.

Every 134 EUR donation provides one Buffalo Bicycle.

Bicycles for Education

By providing bicycles to children, especially girls, you can empower them with knowledge and ultimately, change the course of their lives.
