Turn your passion into progress by purchasing Wooden Bike Coffee
Eliminating Poverty
One Cup at a Time.™
Every bag turns wheels, helps families, and transforms Rwanda.
Coffee drinkers embrace great coffee. Coffee farmers toil diligently to provide basic provisions for their families. Cyclists love well-designed bikes. What happens when you combine the three? Wooden Bike Coffee from Rwanda, the easiest way to turn your passion into progress.
In tiny, mountainous Rwanda, it takes commitment to grow cash crops — and ingenuity to get them to market. Until now, cumbersome Stone-Age era wooden bikes have moved potatoes, beans, lumber and coffee cherries to market. A sturdy metal bike represents a better future, but is affordable to only 1 in 40 Rwandans. Unless something changes, most will wrestle a 300 pound load up to six miles on a 50 lb. wooden bike.
Besides designing mountain bikes he’s also been racing them competitively for over 30 years! At 53 he’s still racing and this year will be his 3rd Absa Cape Epic.
