Rwanda


Got a couple of good links from my wife Jen today. The first is to Project Rwanda which I've blogged about before. There are a handful of NGOs currently using bicycles in African countries to empower people there. Check out some of the links on the right side of Snot Rocket for more info.
The second really great link shows a video of a man who uses his bicycle to sharpen knives. This type of "velo-ingenuity" always floors me. If you click on the picture on the page that previous link takes you to, you can see some video. There some other versions here as well.

Wow a knife sharpening bike. What will they come up with next. I've got a stiletto in my book that could use a new edge. Think he does chainsaws?
