The holidays are upon us, and no matter what God you indulge (if at all), it’s the time of year when we give gifts to one another.
Gift giving is a challenge: sizing up your friend or family member, battling crowds, wrapping, delivering, hoping you got the right thing.
One way to avoid this debacle is to donate to your favorite charity in someone’s name. Close to my heart is World Bicycle Relief. They provide access to independence and livelihood through the power of bikes.
A cyclocross racing friend from Chicago, Chris Strout, works there. And at his blog you can see his take on Africa and even witness the bike distribution. There’s even more at the WBR blog.
This group is all class, so think of them if you go the charity route. At $109 per bike (you can donate less or more, natch), this could be the best money you spend all year.
