West Africa Bike

No flat tyres, no broken spokes, no rusty chain. He is probably not saving all his pennies for a set of Fox forks or a carbon wheelset. Pity it will take a few year to get Australian Standards approval of his wooden helmet (not shown) so he could ride in Tassie.     — JRD

    That’s a pretty good effort with the materials and tools available. Makes one ponder on how lucky we are to have our lovely machines. It would be nice if we could ship a few preloved clunkers across the ocean.

      Actually there are organizations shipping used bicycles to Africa (and other parts). Bicycles for Humanity have a chapter in Melbourne and have sent 4 containers of used and repaired bikes to Africa.
