Minibus taxi in Soweto, South Africa captured by ZC Marketing Consulting
/Â Less time spent in congested public transport:
In South Africa, many people travel in two to three different minibus taxis – considered a high-risk environment – per trip to reach their destination. Travelling by bicycle means they are not in close confines or in crowds at transport hubs, which helps with social distancing.
/Â Increased mobility for healthcare workers:
Bicycles help healthcare workers to visit more patients and communities to access healthcare services.
/Â Increased mobility for community safety volunteers:
Bicycles assist with more visible and effective security patrols, boosting safety for everyone.
/Â Less money spent on public transport:
Travelling by bicycle frees up people’s cash to spend on other necessities, which is particularly important in times like these.
/Â Increased ability to transport goods:Â
Our bicycles are designed to carry up to 100kg, meaning people can minimise their trips by carrying more in one go.
/Â Ability to exercise when sports clubs and gyms are shut:
Bicycles provide people with a means to keep fit, which is important for overall health, in the fresh air, solo, while sports clubs, team activities, school sporting events and gyms are closed.
