Yeah - first bicycle for Africa financed!

Big thanks to you!

Fundraising started: Velosophics @ Betterplace.org
Let’s stop talking about what should be changed on earth, let us start making little impacts, step by step, kilometer by kilometer… On our tour, we will cycle to bring bikes to Africa to mobilize those in need. Therefore, we support the Non-Profit-Organisation World Bicycle Relief.
Donations will be transmitted by the safe and transparent platform Betterplace.org that uses the power of the internet to change the world for the better.
We need you to make this happen: With your donations you give people in Africa the chance to improve their lives through the power of bicycles! This will motivate us even more to keep on cycling - thank you!!!
Velosophics has a logo!!! After what felt like ages, through fierce discussions and different styles, we finally decided! A thousand thanks to all our great friends graphic designers and everybody involved - for your ideas, critics, inspirations and for your time! Wonderful, how different you are…
This is not a bike…it’s an engine for economic and cultural empowerment.
Cost 134 $.
Plan: Every 1,000 Velosophics kilometers equals at least one WBR bike.
Get involved: Support our effort with a donation to make this plan come true.
Spread the message…

Velosophics @ Cycolonia 2012
Cycolonia (www.cycolonia.de) 2012: we had a great Sunday at the fair in Cologne and got in touch with interesting touring bike manufacturers and inspiring worldbikers.
We met Dorothee and Kurt (www.reducespeed.de) who cycled the world for incredible 10 years! Since reading their book manifested our decision to realize our dream in the last months it was especially nice meeting them and we somehow already felt familiar.
Finally, we met Markus, a friend of friends, who we’ve already heard so much about. Having lots of stories to tell he is currently planning his new project (www.lifeeuphoria.com). We will meet again to learn from his experiences… Looking forward to it!
It was the first time we introduced Velosophics to the public, especially to bike manufacturers and other potential sponsors. First feedback was really good, we had some interesting chats and ideas about synergies and mutual benefits… now keeping at it!
Our Taiwanese friends Yi and Chuan brought their worldbiking adventure (and us being part of it) into Taiwanese TV :-) Minute 1:10 and 8:29 … Who knows what the hell they are saying about us :-)
