Project Rwanda

cargo bicycle/coffee bike, Project Rwanda When I got to work on Monday, this fancy gorgeous cargo bike was leaning against the wall. One of my coworkers, the director of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project in Rwanda, had bought it. She spotted the bike in Rwanda when she was there in August, it rider hauling huge loads of coffee beans. It turns out to be the Project Rwanda Coffee Bike

She plans to do most of her grocery shopping on this bike once she rigs it up with adequate paniers. I love the colors, I love the concept. I love the project. It costs $300 to get a bike like this into the hands of someone for whom it will make an incredible difference. Check out the link, and consider buying a transport bike for your own grocery shopping!
