20 October 2022 – We were overjoyed to receive, yet again, another container load of 2nd hand donated bikes from Re~Cycle. The provision of a bicycle to a household in South Africa not only eases the mobility of school children, it also empowers the household with a tool for development that they can use to create income generation. Positive vibes for health, wealth and education. Bicycles improve access to farms, markets, jobs, schools and healthcare. It is significantly impacting on the lives of individuals. THANK YOU Re~Cycle for a fantastic partnership!!!!! #changinglives #bicycle #nonmotorisedtransport #transforminglives #positivechange #positiveimpact #bicyclereuse

22nd July 2022 – Happy 85th birthday to Louis de Waal who enjoyed his special day!!! We celebrated in suitable style by going on a bike ride around the Marina and eating vast quantities of cake!!!
BEN and our friends from Ciovita and PURA Premium Beverages got together to do our 67 minutes for good!! What an inspiring day! We organized ourselves into teams which assembled bikes, packed accessory bags, sorted spares and spruced up the workshop – all the time strengthening our capacity to change lives through bicycles! We built, sorted, painted and scrubbed to the smooth beats of DJ James. Who would have thought giving back could be such fun! Making new friends and a difference.
