Receiving a new bike is always magical. But here is your chance to give one instead – to a family where that bike really will be for life and not just for Christmas. World Bike Relief was founded just over a decade ago and since then has distributed more than 320,000 bikes across the developing world, to places where transportation to schools, to market and to health clinics can be time consuming, exhausting and sometimes almost impossible. The bike is the Buffalo, and it’s as tough and uncompromising as its wild namesake. The frame is made to be 10 times stronger than average and the rack has a carrying capacity of 100kg. Thick tyres and sturdy components make it all but unbreakable. Buy one (or a part of one) and you’ll change someone’s world (World Bicycle Relief).
