THE BENEFITS OF A BICYCLE
13
Bicycles impact every aspect of a community. Jobs are created servicing
the bikes, those with bikes can sell their products in distant markets, kids
have more time to go to school, healthcare workers can see more
patients, people can develop new businesses or extend their current
business; example, people can get a better price for their goods, up to 3
times more, if they can get to market towns rather than sell to the
traders who travel the back roads
Bicycles provide mobility giving people better access to education,
healthcare, fresh water, economic opportunity and community.
