Activities & Mission

RyB's core activity is refurbishing bicycles, donated largely by the public, by a team of enthusiastic volunteers and paid mechanics. Some are sold to raise funds, others are given away as community referral bikes. Suitable bikes and spares are sent to projects in Africa where local mechanics refurbish them for sale to people in need. We also train people in cycling and bike maintenance skills.
