Friday Fun - Road Reclamation and CX an Olympic Sport

News Item: 

One of the best online videos I've seen in awhile, this one talks about fixing "The Great Mistake" which they are referring to the autocentric development of the past 60-ish years.

Maybe now is the time for "Reclamation of the streets".

Bicycles for Humanity Colorado

Today's Friday fun is a feel good story about a local cycling organization Bicycles for Humanity Colorado. This group collects old bikes that are donated to them, fixes them up to be ridable, packs them into a shipping container with bike stands and tools and ships them off to Africa where the bikes are unloaded and given out and the container itself acts as a make shift bike shop. They are a 501(c)(3) with 100% of their donations going to their goal which is to address a fundamental barrier to African development– mobility. Poor transport systems mean poor access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. To learn more watch the video below, check out b4hcolorado.org or check out their very informative brochure on Bicycles for Humanity Colorado. Their next shipment of bikes to Africa leaves at the end of January
