Maseru — A shipment of 594 bicycles is on its way to the Lesotho National Olympic Committee, marking another milestone in the ongoing partnership between Bikes for Lesotho and Working Bikes. This latest container, the 14th for Bikes for Lesotho and the 13th supplied by Working Bikes, was loaded with the help of Christopher B. Burke Engineering, which also served as a 26th Anniversary sponsor.
The bikes will be used by the Lesotho National Olympic Committee to promote cycling across all age groups. Plans include lessons on how to ride and repair bicycles, as well as hosting community races aimed at building a stronger cycling culture in the country.
Dave Gorman, the founder of Bikes for Lesotho and current Board President, received a special mention for his ongoing commitment to the initiative. Gorman founded the organization after serving in Lesotho with the Peace Corps as a civil engineer, where he witnessed firsthand the scarcity of bicycles. His efforts have since made bike transportation significantly more accessible across the mountain kingdom.
The partnership continues to strengthen community mobility and youth development in Lesotho, proving that a single container of bicycles can carry far more than metal and rubber—it carries opportunity, independence, and the spirit of sport.
