Blue Sky Cycling Academy
At the end of last year, Bell Equipment South Africa hosted a golf day and the 2nd place winners very kindly donated their spoils of R15,000 to BEN.
They wanted the money to be used to train and up skill deserving individuals as bicycle mechanics for Blue Sky Cycling Academy. Blue Sky Cycling Academy is based in Zola, Strand, and focuses on uplifting boys and girls through cycling. The Cycling Academy generously topped up the donation and with that we were able to train two bicycle mechanics.
Meet Emang Thelejane (red shirt) and Tadiwanashe Jokonya (blue shirt) – these guys can make anything work. Real MacGyvers (even though they are far too young to even know who MacGyver
A sincere thank you to Bell Equipment and Blue Sky for making this training happen!
*Bicycling Empowerment Network offers a variety of mechanical training courses from a one-day basic service and/ or assembly course, to an extensive 15-day course aimed at individuals who want to become qualified, capable bicycle mechanics.
Were on the road again
On Monday and Tuesday, our team – Jason and Zane – were on the road again delivering bicycles to two amazing community initiatives: 10 bicycles to Sonskyn Vallei Neighbourhood Watch in Mossel Bay 15 bicycles to Jose Borain at the Duiwenhoks Conservancy in Vermaaklikheid.
These bicycles will support safer streets and stronger community patrols in Mossel Bay, while helping conservation efforts and community mobility in Vermaaklikheid.
All part of the Provincial Sustainable Transport Programme (PSTP), funded by the Western Cape Government’s Department of Mobility, and delivered in joint partnership with Pedal Power Association and Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN).
