The mission of World Bicycle Relief (WBR) is to transform individuals and communities through the Power of Bicycles. They provide support to less fortunate folks who really need assistance for their daily activities in rural African countries by providing them with bicycles created specifically to withstand the environment and heavy loads for their otherwise impossible commutes to work, school and/or to provide necessary healthcare. The program is fully sustainable at the local level.
Members of this Big Wheel Racing (BWR) team are so fortunate to live in prosperous areas, to have all the advantages that we do, and to have the freedom, wealth and health to enjoy bicycles for our entertainment. It is through gratitude for this abundance that we choose to support the efforts of WBR, which provides bicycles as a vehicle to improve the lives of those in need.
Our team’s annual contribution changes lives as bicycles connect entrepreneurs with markets, children with schools, healthcare workers with patients, and field mechanics with new job skills. Every $147 donated pays for 1 bike.
Previous BWR donations:
Total of $18,433 raised by BWR for WBR.
That is 132.7 bikes so far!
