    19 fivers for a bike. Seems like a good deal!

    Shall we see if we can buy a bike for a schoolgirl in Africa?

    I’ve done a fiver. Would 18 more of us like to chip in?

    Just a thought (and I don’t have many good ones!)

    Digital fivers are OK, I think.

    I support this blatantly sexist piece of charity!

    (If they turn out to be London Roads, do we then have to fund new seatposts?)

    It says on their website that there is donation matching from a small group of private donors. So we’ve already done one bike and are on the way to two!

    Yeah, that’s true. Only for the first million and a half dollars though isn’t it?

    Done. A nice antidote to all the marketing fluff of Black Friday and the unnecessary tat we all buy at this time of year. Nice one OP.

    Done.

    Can I also put in a plug for Elephantbikes.co.uk?

    Buy a refurbished Post Office bike as a shopper and one gets sent to Malawi.

    Looks like the matched donations is still running, so the £95 buys two bikes. So £42.50 is a whole bike – that’s less than a Schwalbe One tyre!

    Donated.

    Steve here from WBR here in the UK (and long time STW lurker). I wanted to thank you all for your amazing generosity. I cant work out exactly which of our recent £5 donations are from you lovely folk but it looks like you’ve exceeded your £95 target. As a few people have mentioned we do have a match at the moment so your fivers have turned into (vegan friendly) tenners. If you have any questions about WBR just post here or fire me a DM and I’ll try to answer.

    Thanks everyone, it really does make a difference.
