Bike4All gives wheels to Security Guard in Pinelands

April 10, 2019

10 April 2019.  Sandi Huskisson contacted Bike4All last week as they have a security guard who works long hours at their residential complex in Pinelands, who desperately needed a bicycle. Soyiso lives in Langa and walks to work everyday, as the train is not a safe option. He starts work at 6am and finishes at 6pm. We were lucky enough to be funded a bicycle by Malcolm, which made a very happy Soyiso today. He couldn’t believe the bicycle was for him. Thanks to Carmen and Sandi from the complex. Soyiso – enjoy your new mode of transport and stay safe. Pedal Power Association Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN) Qhubeka Charity

Johnny Boy Foundation in Grabouw earn their bicycles!

April 3, 2019

On 21st February 2019 we distributed 12 Bike4All’s to the “Johnny Boys” of the Johnny Boy Foundation in Grabouw. Founder of the organisation, Beatrix Pickard-Cambridge, has spent many hours mentoring these boys. Part of their programme was to create recycle bins and build vegetable gardens. You are doing a sterling job in the community. Keep up the good work. This is all initiated through the Grabouw B E A U T I F U L Campaign partnered by Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN) Pedal Power Association Qhubeka Charity.
We look forward to seeing more projects completed by the “Johnny Boys”.

Birthday celebrations benefiting BEN!

April 3, 2019

We felt very honoured when Grant Moore contacted BEN and asked if we were open to him using BEN as a fundraiser (for his 50th Birthday) to get some children onto bicycles. Both Grant and his wife Janine, are avid and passionate cyclists. In lieu of gifts he asked his friends and family to rather donate money towards bicycles for children of need. He managed to raise enough money to sponsor 7 x Bike4All. The Spartan Harriers Youth Development team were the excited recipients of the bicycles.  In the past two months the coach, Michael Faulman, has reported that not only have their running times improved with the cross training, but they are enjoying the freedom of transport, cycling to practice and school.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank both Grant and Janine for affording this opportunity. If you would like to sponsor donations to a good cause, then contact sue@benbikes.org.za

Presidents Club at Clovelly

March 25, 2019

This was a real feel good project.  Last year we stumbled upon Roxanne in the car park of Ocean View High School.  She had many learners with her with buckets and cleaning agents.  These learners were all from the Kommetjie area schools and are on a project initiated by The Raymond Ackerman Trust at Clovelly Golf Course.  Its a global award system where they work on different projects earning them Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.  Projects range from community service to personal goals and more.  Well done to all the learners who really did deserve these bicycles.  Well done Roxanne – great initiative and amazing programme. Proud partnerships with Qhubeka and Pedal Power Association

Ikasi Soccer School – Khayelitsha

March 11, 2019

What a deserving group of young ladies, who were the recipients of Qhubeka Bicycles on 14 February 2019.  These young ladies were not only eager to learn the safety rules of the road, but when they received their bicycles they rode off in single file, helmets on and were delighted with their bicycles.  Behind these talented young ladies are 5 coaches who dedicate their time and skills to enhance the girls soccer skills.  Good to see the young ladies using their bicycles to get to practice sessions.  We will definitely be following this talented Ikasi Soccer School.   Proud partnerships with Qhubeka and Pedal Power Association
