Products We Love : The Right Kind of Bike

Given we both come from countries rife with poverty – Vianka from the Dominican Republic and Tavinder from India and Kenya – we have seen first hand how seemingly minor resources can greatly improve an individual’s ability to generate income, improve health and access education.

For that reason, when we happened upon Worldbike we just had to share. We think this is the right kind of bike for a number of reasons:

• Worldbikes are designed specifically for the needs of individuals in rural areas where rough terrain and demanding use leave most bikes in need of unaffordable repair before long.
• Worldbikes are locally assembled and maintained which mean they generates local jobs and remain operable.
• Bikes are inherently cost and energy efficient.
• These bikes just look so cool!

We are thrilled about the donation we made to help underwrite a bike!
