We believe a bicycle is more than just transport
Every bike we rescue unlocks opportunity, helping children reach school, improving access to healthcare, supporting livelihoods, and strengthening communities.
In many cases, a single bicycle is shared by up to six members of a household, multiplying its impact and creating lasting benefits for entire families.
Since 1997, Re-Cycle has delivered more than 160,000 bicycles to communities across 10 African countries, creating opportunities that reach far beyond the ride.
