Why Sell Bicycles or Offer Bicycle Fittings?

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 by Frank Radaker
Bicycles are not just for recreation and exercise.  Bicycles and cyclists can change the world.




Bob Walters is currently in Africa.  His work will help improve the local infrastructure and distribute donated bicycles.  The bicycles are very important to the pressing transportation needs of the locals.  While Bob is there, his own transportation is a Cannondale Touring 1 he purchased from BGI.  "Fortunately" for Bob, Cannondale did not have the spec wheels in stock.  BGI accepted the bike sans wheels.  After discussing with Bob where he would be riding, I designed and hand-built a set of wheels for his new Cannondale.  That's why he specifically mentions them in his blog.  I encourage you to visit his blog and read about Friendly Planet




Helen Steussy and her daughter Alex are cycling cross country to raise money for the Red Tail Conservancy and "local land trusts everywhere."  Alex is relatively new to cycling, so Helen decided to get her off on the right foot with a Bicycle Fitting from BGI

I encourage you to visit the blogs by both Bob and Helen and consider donating if you support their causes.  Personally, I think it's great that bicycles are being used to change the world.
