A research highlight: The World Bicycle Relief

I am currently researching models and ideas to bring bikes to students who need spend hours walking to school. Check out this organization here.

                                    World Bicycle Relief is an international, non-profit organization based in Chicago, IL that specializes in large-scale, comprehensive bicycle distribution programs to aid poverty relief and disaster recovery initiatives in developing countries around the world. Their programs focus primarily on education, economic development, and health care. As of September 2010, World Bicycle Relief had distributed more than 116,000 bicycles in the developing world. Within their largest program, the Bicycles For Educational Empowerment program, nearly 70 percent of the student bicycles are designated for girl students.

Advocates for walking and bicycling should put more time and energy into opposing auto parking and road widening than supporting pedestrian and bicycle facilities; the harm done by the former cannot be mitigated by the latter.
