Bikes To Rwanda’s mission statement: “Bikes To Rwanda’s aim is to provide cargo bicycles to co-operative coffee farmers in Rwanda. The goal is to improve quality of life in these communities through a bike workshop and maintenance program that provides transportation resources for basic needs and enhances production of quality coffee.”

Higher quality bicycles. Indeed.

Ritual Coffee Roasters in San Francisco recently held a fundraiser/bike race for BTR.
