Cambridge Bike Tours

19/11/2024

Cambridge Bike Tours has managed to collect another van full of donated bikes to send to Africa.

Thanks to all the local residents who have made generous donations. They will help children collect water and make it to school. Even a broken bike can have a tremendous positive effect on someone's life.

Thanks to Re-Cycle for coming to collect them and working with us. They have recently passed 150,000 bikes donated to Africa. What a milestone.

Keep up the good work re-cycle!

Thanks,

Quite brilliant.
