Business, lives and changing the world. With Bikes.

August 24, 2012 in Empowerment

We often exclaim with loads of confidence that “business is not about the money, it is about changing the world”. It is not often that you see projects who are living this statement and doing just that.

Via Twitter, i found this company, ZAMBikes

. Building bikes in Zambia and changing the world while doing. Just watch the video…

“Not just quality of the product, but quality of life and of people”

In the second half of the vid, you get to see bamboo bikes! I love the idea of using cheap, renewable material to build a bike that, in many, ways are better than the traditional kind of bicycle. If you are not convinced, have a look at this awesome set-up (which is totally on my wish-list!)

PS – Projects like this excite me more about business than any book, conference or course ever has. Also… watch this space for some news on Rise Up Bakeries

    I love what Benjamin has to say, “I’m not just Benjamin…I am the production manager”
