-Our Project-

take a ride with us!

In response to the devastation caused by the tsunami that struck Indonesia on 28, September 2018, we decided to bring aid to the local populations by getting on our bikes!

We are teaming up with a dynamic Indonesian NGO that will help us reach our goal and bring durable change to the situation!
