My bike-mad uncle is turning 80 this year, and has asked for no gifts.

I'm looking for a good charity I could make a donation to instead, which might improve people's lives through cycling.  Either UK or developing world, open to ideas. Hoping to avoid high admin costs and get money right to the front line.

Thanks

Cyclists fighting cancer, they buy and/or modify bikes for kids going through cancer treatment to help keep them active.

Charlotte's tandems do great stuff helping people experience cycling that would otherwise be unable to do so
