 Riding a bicycle is four times faster than walking and three times more efficient. Bikes keep children in school and help people get to work more easily. South African health care workers on BEN-bikes now see 500 yto 550 patients a month compared with the 100 - 200 patients they were able to serve on foot. |

with your knee fully extended..." |
