Thank you BEN

THANK YOU BEN // ??
Who is BEN?
Aaah, the bicycle, we’ve all had one at some stage and been lucky enough to experience the wind in our hair and the occasional mishap over the handlebars, but what happens if you’ve never had the opportunity to own your own bicycle? This is where BEN comes in.
BEN (Bicycle Empowerment Network) is a non-profit organisation that is all about poverty alleviation through the promotion of the use of bicycles, in all of its forms.
When it comes down to it, bicycles are just plain cool. They allow us our independence and freedom to go where we please and promotes our sociability. That’s why BEN has distributed over 12 000 pieces of endless potential, in the shape of a bicycle, to date and does great work to grow that number every day.
We would like to say a gracious thank you to BEN Bikes for continuing to support our community and lending a helping hand to our community art project, Papergirl SA. The beautiful vintage bikes being used for Papergirl #1 ride day has been lovingly sponsored by them. Thank you and big love to BEN!
