C.I.C.L.E. :: » GOOD Magazine Video: Bikes to Rwanda

Oct 08 '07 - 33 W - Vote Good + 5 :: Bad - 11 GOOD Magazine Video: Bikes to Rwanda

October 8, 2007

Here’s a cool little video about coffee beans and cargo bikes in the hills of Rwanda.

Would you like to contribute to C.I.C.L.E.? Do you a have bike-related article, news story, event, idea, suggestion, etc...? Check out our submissions page.

I’d like one. I’ll have to see about resurrecting my old schwinn varsity.
One thing I noticed in this video, maybe its just happenstance, but all the people riding the new bikes seem to be men. I wonder how the women feel about being displaced by the new technology? No more transporting sacks on their heads…two women seem to have been replaced by one man and his bike. Is this progress in the modern world? I wonder when someone will donate some jeeps to these people? Oh well.
