Vote For the Bicycle!
Just a quick note to say that you have the chance to vote for the bicycle, now that many of us are still in election mode.
My friends at Baisikeli - the development programme here in Copenhagen that sends used Danish bikes to Africa in order to create a sustainable circle in communities - are shortlisted for an Idealist of the Year award here in Denmark.
Here's the link if you fancy voting for them. They are number three on the list if you scroll down. Just click on the button that reads 'STEM' to vote. No registration is needed.
The competition is comprised of good projects, but it's not every day you can vote for the most efficient machine ever invented and help out African communities.
Here's a Google translated version of the page above.
Baisikeli are currently preparing to send another couple of containers to Africa and will be there when they arrive. Next year they are planning a massive overland trip from Denmark to East Africa with six trucks loaded with bicycles.

It is a very good Project,I gave it a Vote.
That's a great idea - gets my vote. It's amazing how easy it is to make a wreck as good as new with a little elbow grease, and a few replacement components.
It's interesting that like all the best bikes, the ones in the picture look to have been painted JCB yellow :-D
thanks so much! yes, the yellow is their trademark colour.
It seems to me like I have to log in to vote... maybe I'm too late - there's a sentence near the STEM button that reads: Du skal være logget ind for at kunne stemme.
Log ind eller opret ny bruger.
which seems to me to say "you need to be logged in to vote. log in here or register" (guessing)
they must have just added that. maybe because so many people were voting from this blog!
u r blog Is very nice
Nice project and nice blog. I'm a regular reader. Look at this video that i found in youtube, i think that it has some good ideias that can be used by that baisikelli project:
