In spite of originally saying that I did not want to focus on cycling for charity I have changed my mind!
If you have any interest in this ongoing experiment in making cycling a viable lifestyle choice and medium through which I experience, explore and give back to the world please consider making a contribution to one of the charities mentioned below.
I have attached links to Amnesty International and the Bristol Bike Project. I would be overjoyed if you felt able to support them.I believe in the fight for human rights and spiritual freedom that Amnesty International supports and that the many people’s including the Tibetan people, many of them being born into exile from their homeland, now, sadly, have to endure.
The work that the Bristol Bike Project does in supporting and empowering often marginalised people and specifically women and refugees in the Bristol area is fantastic and, I believe, essential to the continued development of the wider community.
I have also added links for SaferWorld which is working towards greater global cooperation and a focus on positive conflict resolution, concepts that need as much support as possible to flourish and become the norm, making violent conflict (which benefits a select few) a thing of the past.
All of these organisations aim to improve the situations and circumstances for people locally and worldwide not just through providing financial assistance but through the development of ideas, through education, through awareness and through the individual making a difference.
