If there is one thing that can change lives, it is the bicycle.

As a promoter of active mobility, a new kind of bicycle caught my attention : “World Bicyle Relief”(WBR), a social enterprise, has designed “The Buffalo” – a cycle for the less privileged.

Deigned to uplift under-served or badly served communities , The Buffalo is built rugged (for bad roads), with a load carrying capacity up to 100 kg (for productivity) & easy serviceability (for high up-time & availability). It’s report card is impressive :

90% reduction in school absenteeism in Zambia

88% increase in patient reach of health care workers

23% more goods delivered & 23% more income

The cycle is the ultimate anti-poverty machine, and The Buffalo doubles down & builds on this insight.

At $165 a cycle, it is not exactly cheap – however, it still rolls in tune to the unique realities of its target market.

Innovate to transform.
