Kona to provide bikes for Bike Town Africa
Working with Bicycling magazine’s BikeTown Africa project and Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation’s Secure The Future program, Kona has agreed to supply the program with 200 bicycles. Kona Bike Town documents the “development and delivery” of the bicycles, each of which is designed to help health care workers in AIDS- and HIV-ravaged Botswana.
The Bike Town site is a great resource for advocates and people interested in the bike design process. Cap it off with easily accessible updates about the project and you’ve got a solid start to a worthwhile program. I’ll be interested to see how the design team adjusts to the specific requirements of the project. Neat stuff.
