The Power of Bicycles
In recent years physical challenges have transformed into an incredible tool to fundraise and build awareness for causes that we truly care for.
In 2017 and 2018, we chose to raise funds for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and the Cure Parkinson’s Trust by way of the Tour de Pirinexus – a three-day, 300km charity ride circumnavigating Northeast Catalonia.
In 2019, we have officially partnered with World Bicycle Relief – a remarkable charity committed to mobilising people through ‘The Power of Bicycles.’ To learn more about World Bicycle Relief and how we will support them, please read below.
OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER
World Bicycle Relief
At Bacchus, we are extremely fortunate to be able to share the spectacular landscapes of Spain with people who share our passion for cycling, adventure and exploration.
As Hemingway said, “it is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best.” However, we recognise that for some of the poorest people in the world those contours can be an almost insurmountable barrier between them and education, healthcare and economic opportunity. For that reason we have chosen to support World Bicycle Relief, an organisation mobilising people through The Power of Bicycles.
For every Bacchus on Bikes tour, we will donate a Buffalo bicycle to a World Bicycle Relief international programme.
All the funds raised by Bacchus for World Bicycle Relief will help to provide specially designed, locally assembled bicycles to students, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs in rural Africa; connecting them with education, healthcare and economic opportunities.
