About World Bicycle Relief

World Bicycle Relief is mobilizing people through The Power of Bicycles.

Since our founding in 2005, World Bicycle Relief has provided over 550,000 specially designed, locally assembled, rugged bicycles to disaster victims, healthcare workers, students and entrepreneurs. We have also trained over 2,400 field mechanics.

Compared to walking, bicycles represent an enormous leap in productivity and access to healthcare, education and economic opportunities. The simple, sustainable nature of bicycles empowers individuals, their families and their communities.

To accomplish our mission we:

DESIGN, SOURCE & MANUFACTURE rugged bicycles engineered specifically for rural African terrain and load requirements
ASSEMBLE bicycles locally with proper tools and close attention to quality
DELIVER bicycles through Work-to-Own & Study-to-Own programs
ESTABLISH maintenance infrastructure by training local field mechanics
EVALUATE our work through independent studies
COMMUNICATE program results to donors and partners
