    a charity relieving poverty by taking second-hand bikes overseas. Many bikes are thrown away or lie rusting in garages in the UK, while people in Less Developed Countries are without transport apart from their feet. Walking can take up to 4 hours per day (e.g. collecting water, walking to field or town), lowering work / productive time. Re-Cycle’s mission is to collect and ship second hand bicycles and parts to LDCs.
