Kevin .Best wishesAny recommendations gratefully received.I wonder if anyone knows of any research into the topic I have put in the subject of this email ?HelloI am a non-academic looking for information because of my involvement in cycling advocacy.
--In November 2013 Noelle and Kevin cycled from George to CapeTown in South Africa,
through the Karoo desert, over 4 mountain passes to raise awareness and funds for the Bicycling Empowerment Network South Africa.
Please visit our new Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/karoochallenge to donate.
We needed to raise a minimum of 4000£ ( 40000 R) to pay for the transport of a container load of bikes and bits from www.re-cycle.org to help kick start the project. A container can accept about 470 bikes, so a 10£ donation will pay for one bike to South Africa !
Currently we have raised just over 5900£ any extra raised will go to ensure the sustainablility of the project, planning permission is now being sought to site a workshop container !
