A tech gallery from Tour De Lunsar, Sierra Leone between April 26-30, 2023 Nate Mesmer from US team Mike’s Bikes lead a breakaway on Stage four. The two Mikes Bikes riders donated the Cannondale bikes to Lunsar Cycling Team after the race. The Mike Bike’s Foundation helps to facilitate bike donations from the US to Sierra Leone. They work with partner bike shops in Sierra Leone who pay for the shipping of the bikes. Mikes Bikes runs a strict policy for donations. The criteria the bikes need to meet before they are shipped involves having a market value of over $50. The partners in Sierra Leone sell the bikes and/or use the parts on the bikes and make profits from the sales that pay wages, help to run racing teams and fund new cycling related projects. There are other organisations running similar schemes. Working Bikes in Chicago, Village Bicycle Project in. Salt Lake City, Mikes Bikes in California and Re-Cycle in the UK.
