Freedom on a bike

April 19, 2022
Cycling offers a world of freedom. A bike presents a world of reliable transport and fresh perspective.
Robert uses his bike to travel 10km to get to work, a trip that would previously take several taxis, an hour, and up to R1000 a month. Now he saves time, money and has the independence to plan his route, thriving on the convenience of freedom. If he wants to visit someone or stop for groceries, he doesn’t need to plan anything.
Here’s to bikes and the beauty of the convenience they offer! Thanks Rob for your appreciation of the two wheeled machine of freedom, we love to see it!

Empowering people on Bicycles!

March 31, 2022
Gavin can’t imagine a life without cycling. After being gifted his bicycle, he has seen a shift in his life, gaining a new job and a new fresh sense of well-being.
From not knowing where to turn, Gavin now has a job, a mode of transport that saves him R1000 a month on travel costs, and a fresh sense of inspiration. Gavin has said that his bike is his best friend, and it’s given him a brand new sense of independence and confidence.
Brad bought Gavin the bike from On Bike in Westlake. Thanks Brad for supporting Gavin and well done to Gavin, we are so proud!
