World Bicycle Relief
​The Buffalo Bicycle

In many poor people rural regions of Africa, South America, and South East Asia, poverty is a daily reality. Providing health care, education, and food and water could all be enhanced through increased mobility. World Bicycle Relief works to mobilize people with bicycles and conquer the challenge of distance. Bicycles offer immediate benefits in areas where walking may be the only mode of transport, including increased access to goods and services. Numbers show that bicycles help increase student attendance levels by up to 28%, community health-care volunteers make up to 45% more patient visits, and dairy farmers increase their numbers of deliveries by up to 25%. The Buffalo Bicycle is especially designed to carry big loads and passengers over long distances in remote areas. The Buffalo Bicycle is deliberately compatible with locally-available spare parts, requiring only basic tools for maintenance and repair. Also, there is a Field Mechanic Training Program to help keep the bicycles rolling, using a universal training manual that instructs with pictures and diagrams rather than words.
