<p>Healthcare workers?</p>
<p>Yes, especially in places where people walk everywhere they go. Like in Africa, it&#8217;s nothing for the people of Zambia to trudge for hours to get water or to school. <strong>But if you give a person a bike, it takes four times less to commute</strong>. So people can do more for themselves and each other. And that&#8217;s where our favorite charity comes in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldbicyclerelief.kintera.org/aafaf08" target="_blank">World Bicycle Relief</a> provides sustainable transportation to those who need it most. Here, watch this quick video from <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/" target="_blank">The Today Show</a> that shows the power of bicycles in action:</p>

<p>World Bicycle Relief was founded by members of SRAM Corporation, a local Chicago company that leads the cycling componentry industry. It&#8217;s a great project to be a part of, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/" target="_blank">so consider signing up for updates</a> to help them out.</p>
