Celebrate Bike Month with World Bicycle Relief and Join the #BicycleRevolution

CHICAGO - May 12, 2016 - PRLog -- Celebrate Bike Month by joining World Bicycle Relief and the #BicycleRevolution and help bring Buffalo Bicycles to those who need them most.  By teaming up with World Bicycle Relief, you can bring independence and hope for a brighter future to students, healthcare workers, farmers and entrepreneurs around the world. To those who experience the barriers of distance on their way to school, healthcare clinics and work, a bike is so much more than a mode of transportation. It's a revolution!

In the developing world, distance prevents children from attending school, the sick from receiving care, and entrepreneurs from earning enough to feed their families. World Bicycle Relief is a global non-profit that builds and distributes specially designed, locally assembled, rugged bicycles to students, healthcare workers and entrepreneurs through study-to-own and work-to-own programs. World Bicycle Relief mobilizes individuals through The Power of Bicycles so they can overcome barriers and change their lives.

Since 2005, World Bicycle Relief supporters have provided more than 294,000 Buffalo Bicycles to students, healthcare workers and entrepreneurs in 18 countries. That's over one million lives changed. But this is just the beginning. Together, we believe we can mobilize millions more people to achieve their goals and follow their dreams.

Help us spread the word and make a difference. Sign up to fundraise. We can't create the Bicycle Revolution alone. We need you to spread the word and support our efforts to bring Buffalo Bicycles to those who need them most.

Join us to raise awareness for The Power of Bicycles, and become the #BicycleRevolution.
