I think we should fund a initiative for cycling.  Other possibilities is to start up and fund an organisation of give cycle helmets, refelective vests, bicycle services and tubes (with slime) to the poorest of the poor cyclist, the gardeners and workers that commute everywhere, for who the bicycle is a mode of transport and not a mode of sport.

Like KonaFan, I also think that it should somehow go back into cycling!

 

How about BEN!?

Here's an intro from BEN Namibia

 

Since we began in May 2005 we have grown from a small NGO that distributed three bicycles in its first month, into a dynamic and rapidly expanding organisation that has implemented 5 community based bicycle shops (with 3 more on the way), developed a bicycle ambulance for emergency medical transport and delivered 50 throughout the country, conducted research into the impact of transport on access to treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS, trained over 100 people in bicycle mechanics, directly created jobs for 30 people and helped over 4,000 disadvantaged Namibians, many of them HIV/AIDS home based care volunteers, to gain access to affordable transport in the form of bicycles.
