+ The gift of human powered transportation

This article felt very appropriate given that we are close the the Holidays. As we drive from store to store in our cars, taking that trip across town to visit the family, we should take some to think about those who have nothing of the sort.

I couldn't say it better so I'll give a short intro from the World Bicycle Relief website:
Simple, sustainable transportation is an essential element in disaster assistance and poverty relief. Bicycles fulfill basic needs by providing access to healthcare, education and economic development. Bicycles empower individuals, their families, and their communities. Our mission is to provide access to independence and livelihood through The Power of Bicycles.
