Two friends, Nicole Richards and Caitlin William’s on their three wheelers. Both ladies have grown up with cerebral palsy. They’ve been friends for over 20 years having attended Bel Porto School in Lansdowne together. After completing school, they both joined the Village Workshop in Claremont where they’ve worked for the past 11 years. The Village Workshop is a project of the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association. Caitlin’s bicycle was acquired with the help of the Bicycling Empowerment Network (through the Re-Cycle UK container that was donated in May 2021). The three wheeler provides the stability required for Nicole and Caitlin to enjoy the pleasure of cycling, enabling them to fit in normally with society.
Our long awaited shipment of bicycles have arrived. We were delighted to have Louis de Waal (Founder of BEN) here to lend a helping hand. These bicycles will be assembled and distributed through the PSTP Bicycle Distribution to promote sustainable social and economic empowerment. We do this by ensuring a reliable supply of donated and affordable bicycles to disadvantaged communities and institutions. This programme is run by the Western Cape Government Transport Department in collaboration with Pedal Power Association, Bicycling Empowerment Network and Qhubeka.
Providing access to bicycles needs to be complemented by rider and safety training. All of our bike distributions are accompanied by appropriate safety training. We also provide safety training to schools and community organisations. We work closely with other organisations, including the Pedal Power Association (PPA) in developing safety training methods and associated materials.
