You can read about it on their webstie. WBR does it right. They use locals in Africa for assembly and they set up mechanics to make sure the bikes keep running.

This is a great cause and this is the first year I felt like I could spring for it. I don't care what the prizes are. This is a great cause. OK. I care about the prizes in case I win. But, what are the odds of that? For the first time, I just donated a whole bike! This is a great cause and this is the first year I felt like I could spring for it. I don’t care what the prizes are.

Hope to be ON a bike soon (tore ACL, waiting for surgery). It's no fun being sidelined. But biking is "fun" for me (depending on the elevation that day) -- I have other transportation options. Glad to know that my very small donation will help someone that is truly less fortunate. THANK YOU FATTY (and Dave, and Lisa) for shining the light on this incredible organization. In for a bike.

As always, it's just amazing what you put together Fatty. I think back to the 'beginning' (as far as I know anyway)...when you first started the 4 city teams for LIVESTRONG as a way to help. You've come a long way since then my friend! You are truly a WORLD-CHANGING force, and I'm happy to be riding along on your coat-tails! Happy 4th of July everybody...be vigilant, be safe and have a GREAT weekend! Nice Fatty…I’m in for a bike (& hopefully a bit more later towards the end of July…we’ll have to see about that tho).
