Genius + Bike = Maya pedal

These guys are truly inspirational, Maya Pedal is a Guatemalan NGO based in San Andrés Itzapa. They accept bikes donated from the USA and Canada which they either recondition to sell, or use components to build a range of "Bicimaquinas", (pedal powered machines).


The great thing about it is that nothing goes to waste, building simple effective machines that doesn't require fuel or generate pollution from bike parts. From Corn millers, blenders, water pump and washing machines they transform countless lives in the process.


Volunteers come from all parts of the world to help and take part in this amazing organisation, one day I hope I can visit them and help out too, for those who want to take part contact them here
