As the outdoor cycling season gets underway, many of us are starting to go to races, charity rides, group rides or other cycling events. Being prepared and having all of your necessary items/gear will help you have a successful and fun day.

Help us support World Bicycle Relief, an amazing charitable organization dedicated to providing access to independence and livelihood through The Power of Bicycles.

Compared to walking, bicycles represent an enormous leap in productivity and access to healthcare, education and economic development opportunities. The simple, sustainable nature of bicycles empowers individuals, their families and their communities.

Proceeds from the cycling and triathlete apparel sold through their store will help to change lives across Africa.

Transportation in the form of a bicycle multiplies an individual’s efficiency. Bicycles improve access to education, healthcare and economic opportunity by increasing carrying capacity and accessible travel distance while decreasing the time it takes to commute to and from schools, clinics and markets.

Please visit the WBR website for more information, or you can shop for cycling apparel directly on our site at http://shop.pactimo.com/help-us-support-world-bicycle-relief. We have jerseys, shorts and bib shorts for men and women.
