Help us on a future BikeTown Africa event

Every BikeTown Africa event provides the opportunity for up to 15 participants to attend the build and handover of the bicycles. This affords people the chance to get a first-hand look and feel for the impact a BikeTown Africa Project can have both on a community and on an individual.

As a participant, you build the bicycles, train mechanics and really “get dirty” for two days as you help the BikeTown team and the organization hand over the bicycles. This is a vacation, but one that gives something back and really makes a difference.

Read the BikeTown Africa blog to find out about previous events and get personal perspectives from some of the participants. 

The dates for the BikeTown Africa 2010 have not yet been finalised, but please see below. If you are interested in being kept informed, please sign up to receive our newsletter.
