Empowering people and communities through life-changing bicycles.

The Power of Bicycles

Nearly 1 billion people around the globe lack access to reliable transportation, trapping them in a cycle of poverty.

At SBT GRVL®, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ride, regardless of income status, ethnicity, gender, or age.

That's why we are partnering with World Bicycle Relief globally across all GRVL® Events. Together, we can reduce inequality and give more people the chance to harness the Power of Bicycles.

All funds raised through this partnership will support World Bicycle Relief’s programs in Africa and South America, and ensure that more Buffalo Bicycles can be distributed to people in rural communities, enabling improved access to education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities.

THE GOAL: 1 MILLION BICYCLES DELIVERED

World Bicycle Relief partners with communities to deliver specially designed, locally assembled, rugged bicycles for people in need. They have developed an efficient, innovative, and scalable model to empower communities of students, health workers, and entrepreneurs in rural regions with life-changing mobility by expanding opportunities to access education, markets, health facilities and vital services with the tool they need to thrive.
