We've seen how the Buffalo Bicycles are used by schoolchildren and entrepreneurs alike in Zambia, but just how are they made?
Join us for a factory tour in this Assembly point in Lusaka as we find out how these bikes from World Bicycle Relief are put together, and Dan Lloyd has a go at assembling one himself.

Head over to gcn.eu/WBR21 to contribute whatever you can to build more Buffalo Bikes

@JStarx6 6 лет назад

Global Cycling Network single speed with no brakes?

@gcn 6 лет назад

Back pedal brakes 👍

@eolle43 6 лет назад

May I ask an accounting question? What percentage of the donation goes to actual purchase of a bike versus overhead at World Bicycle Relief?

@RixterNow 6 лет назад

Dan you nailed those stickers!

@flashwashington2735 Год назад

We're not allowed to question the cost and build for these? Will be disappeared to some gulag? The corporation is non-profit 3 star out of five rating. Only 85% goes to the purpose The company manufacturing is for profit. Seems like considerable room for betterment in several; areas.

@stepforward9498 6 лет назад

Amazing. These bikes look robust. I will definetly forget one of my first world problems, for example thinking i need a carbon handle bar for my road bike. Instead helping another person to get such a bike makes more sense. Respect GCN

@warayupay84 6 лет назад

Step Forward, well said!

@luismedeiros7139 6 лет назад

It's nice to see how bicycles can change an entire region by helping people learn, do chores and also help the local economy. So more potential of change than the car based economy.

@lisapet160 6 лет назад

The people had zillions of chances to learn and do chores long time ago. Bikes are not solution for their true independence and self sufficiency, though provide a nice touch to the lifestyle. ageconsearch.umn.edu/bitstream/134919/2/fris-1966-06-02-372.pdf

@matthewbenger8355 6 лет назад

Get paid a few days before Christmas. I am 100% donating the 95 quid for one of these bikes. Bicycles definitely change lives. Fantastic work GCN highlighting the incredible work of World Bicycle Relief. I'm in tears watching everyone of these videos. There's is no other means of transport that could be anywhere near as much use to these people as a bike. Inspiring

@daniellloyd100 6 лет назад

matthew benger Thanks Matthew!

@morosis82 6 лет назад

Just donated for a single bike. Such an amazing cause, and a great way to help people help themselves!

@gcn 6 лет назад

Matthew Jenkinson thank you!

@morosis82 6 лет назад

No worries, looks like quite the adventure Dan got up to over there! Shared on Facebook also, maybe can get a couple more :) And let's face it, when am I ever going to be able to say I bought a bike for $150 and it was awesome!?

@TheGerm24 6 лет назад

I love these videos. It is awesome seeing where the donations go. I like that they assemble the bikes locally. That is another way to help the economy there.

@marshja56 6 лет назад

I've always liked GCN and now I like them even more. Wonderful series of videos. I was moved to donate to World Bicycle Relief and hope that many others do as well. Thanks Guys!

@richardandcarolinenoble158 6 лет назад

I am a member of RaceWBR and we are riding a 24hr fundraising ride on Zwift later today. Dan and these videos have really helped get the message out there as to what this actually means and the wonderful benefits to these communities. Great Videos GCN!

@daniellloyd100 6 лет назад

RICHARD and CAROLINE NOBLE Thanks Richard. All the best with your ride and fundraising.

@charliewhiskey8440 6 лет назад

Do it all the time and loving it! Too bad it's not part of my commute.

@abrahamalkhatib9762 6 лет назад

A bike can open and brighten up their future. Very happy to see the children life getting changed by buffalo bikes. GO GCN!!

@andypaling4828 6 лет назад

i like these videos!

@robbchastain3036 6 лет назад

Thanks, Dan, for this report and bikes are a means to a better life for all of us, really. And thanks for giving us a chance to support this campaign. It is wonderful to see us come together from all over the world to put our coins in the kettle so kids can get bikes.

@gcn 6 лет назад

Thanks for your support Robb!

@myklonsip 6 лет назад

Great idea again guys... why not challenge GMBN or GTN to raise more next year. How about a Buffalo bike on Zwift with GCN kit.

@andypaling4828 6 лет назад

Next weeks GCN maintenance Monday video... How to build a buffalo bike

@colombianflag717 3 года назад

GCN u guys are the best.. walking 7 kilometers is at lot.. with the buffalo bike the commute is shorter and safer

@Dhungerf60 6 лет назад

Dan...great job. This is a great cause and GCNs involvement helps tremendously

@Toastybear1 6 лет назад

Have donated already! But I'm starting to worry at the total- I don't want matt and si arrested for public indecency 😂

@oliverstuart 6 лет назад

These Buffalo bike videos are a great departure from the usual GCN stuff (not that the other stuff isn't also great) Keep it up.

@gcn 6 лет назад

Thanks Oliver

@PFULMTL 6 лет назад

Just donated. :D Also I wanted to know what the gear ratio are the bikes?

@JohnAIDoe 6 лет назад

Only a monster would hate this charitable work. Thanks GCN.

@TheTsunamisteve78 6 лет назад

We take a lot for granted , who would have thought a bike could help so much. Well done guys

@robinburt5735 6 лет назад

I like how you said putting on the mudguards was the most delivcate job. Then go over to peeps building and truing wheels...

@graemeveevers7053 6 лет назад

Well in GCN, absolutely brilliant thing you’re doing here! Take a bow!

@matthewsponseller 6 лет назад

Is there a program to repair or recondition the Buffalo bikes as needed? Seems like a good entrepreneurial opportunity for some Zambians ... and / or a side job for the assembly workers at Buffalo bikes.

@jamelpiclit3062 4 года назад

@AndrewBushnell 6 лет назад

Hand-built wheels! They discovered the secret weapon of modern bicycles!

@johnnyboy4711 6 лет назад

chapeau GCN! great to give back!

@compassionsix 6 лет назад

For US Federal Employees, World Bike Relief are a CFC agency, allowing payroll deduction giving.

@technonautgames4342 6 лет назад

I hope that they give them some kind of tire pump and patch kit for the tubes i imagine those might not be the easiest to come across there

@TheGerm24 6 лет назад

I think they said in another video that they give a pump. Not sure about patches. I know they train people locally to do repairs.

@tommyj7766 6 лет назад

Great Work GCN!👌🏻😀

@IanButterworthyyc 6 лет назад

Great, would love to see the frames made there too! I assume the frames are made in China?

@phxrsx 6 лет назад

Probably Taiwan.

@hardToSignUpHere 4 года назад

Perhaps in China? Higher-end bicycle frames are more likely to be made in Taiwan. I am hoping there is a chance that they are made somewhere more locally.

@jeffyen 3 года назад

Made in Taiwan. They are Giant frames. Source: www.giant-bicycles.com/int/news/thousands-join-giant-group-for-13th-annual-ride-like-king-event/26133

@steediboy 6 лет назад

This is awesome well done guys and well done buffalo bicycles. P.s I want a buffalo bicycles t-shirt.

@walterscott2709 6 лет назад

Dan Lloyd can the cool Brown Buffalo T Shirts and or the Buffalo bike decal/stickers be purchased as an added incentive to give, similar what they do in US or UK charity rides.

@ealnaes 6 лет назад

@primarypractice1398 6 лет назад

@darthbiker2311 6 лет назад

It's a pretty good-looking bike, actually. Wouldn't worry about single speed and steel frame. Less complicated - better workout.

@z2sam 6 лет назад

Bikes FTW :D

@yoachimfoenix 6 лет назад

We should all throw in a little extra for the Awkward Handshake Relief Fund 😜

@SpiderwebRob 6 лет назад

What do they use for chain lube?

@isbemorph 6 лет назад

i hope no lube at all, dry chain in such sandy condition would last much longer then stuffed with grinding sandy paste

@anjar5945 6 лет назад

What do the bike owners do when they need a spare for / repair of the bike? Can they go somewhere to get a new tube/tyre etc? Do they need to pay for that or do repairs come as part of the deal? And what happens if a bike gets stolen?

@roxic1212 6 лет назад

Nice!

@stevenf4511 6 лет назад

Why would ANYONE give a thumbs down for this?

@silaslongshot941 3 месяца назад

One of these bikes is equivalent to a good used car in the "developed" world. Radically changes everything.

@evilryutaropro Месяц назад

A good used car here is worth like 20-30 of these bikes ($165 per bike)

@roadforrunner 3 года назад

where are all parts made?

@sylvainmichaud2262 6 лет назад

@davidalexander9047 6 лет назад

@KeithFlint350 6 лет назад

No R&D, no "German quality", no carbon, no windtunnel. I like it!

@yrusore 6 лет назад

Is there an address one could use to send hearing protection to these workers?

@Urgento22 6 лет назад

how do we get them helmets to go with their new bikes?

@pbassred 6 лет назад

Where do they make the frames? Surely that would contribute to the local economy. Also (and worrying):- Plain nuts and bolts in the vibration capital of Africa. Surely there should be nyloc or Threadlock. I'm old enough to remember UK bikes being built with plain nuts and shaking apart.

@alexmeier3538 6 лет назад

Why does the bikes have fixed gears. Would a shifter be so much more expensive?

@daniellloyd100 6 лет назад

Samot Roger I will explain in tomorrow's video..... ;-)

@warayupay84 6 лет назад

Samot Roger, that would probably make them harder to maintain

@lostnotstranded 6 лет назад

Do the bikes come with spares, such as inner tubes, tire levers, etc...? From your previous video, it was said that recipients of the bikes get pumps as well. Those aren't much use in the case of a puncture unless it can be fixed. :P

@morosis82 6 лет назад

They also get taught how to patch them, plus the tyres are designed with durability in mind rather than performance.

@fieryawesomeness 6 лет назад

That's a surprisingly long 'tag line'

@nmb247 6 лет назад

That's awesome. Can they get a bar stool to lean on a lil bit? & or some books on tape with ear buds? Or an inversion table.

@TimothyFish 6 лет назад

Normal tires only last three months? Since when?

@SimpleDragon1328 6 лет назад

3 months in those conditions is more demanding than what most of ours tires go through in an entire year.

@morosis82 6 лет назад

Depends on how many km's you do. Mine last about 6 months if I'm lucky, but I ride hard and do nearly 10000 kms a year.

@TimothyFish 6 лет назад

I have 12,000 km in and will have another 1,000 before the end of the year. My tires are fine.

@morosis82 6 лет назад

Timothy Fish Mine are race tyres, on a race bike. Not designed to last lots of KMs.

@TimothyFish 6 лет назад

No one would put "race tyres" on a Buffalo bike. For that matter, no one would call race tires "normal tires." Race tires are intended for races, not for normal use.

@VanDungLe2510 6 лет назад

The bike rims in the video are even wider than my MTB rim :v

@Incaensio 6 лет назад

At the end, the buffalo on the door looks a bit inebriated. Someone should fix his eye for him.

@dmitrysoji 6 лет назад

It's canyon bikes on low setting

@ninaaltschenk7930 6 лет назад

But do they have chainkeepers?!?!?

@isbemorph 6 лет назад

Its a single speed, so there should rather be a simple chain tensioner. Ideally the user should adjust the rear wheel according to a chain stretch over time, but i bet they ride till the chain drops and its no fun in the middle of nowhere without wrenches.

@ninaaltschenk7930 6 лет назад

Joke incoming

@asicdathens 6 лет назад

Sometimes I feel ashamed. I spent more money for my 3T stem than an entire Buffalo bike (w/o handlebars)

@leenevin8451 6 лет назад

@adventurehikerunandbike9375 6 лет назад

This is a great cause to support. But, the PC first naming at every moment was over the top embarrassing.

@charlesmansplaining 6 лет назад

It's what I always say, bicycle building and maintenance is not rocket science, anybody can do it. So why do companies insist on taking a bike to a bike shop for service? By the way anybody want to contribute to me so I can afford a Sram eTap groupset for my cyclecross bike?

@code3xiv 6 лет назад

One whole bike cost cant even buy the latest zipp hubs.

@charlesmansplaining 6 лет назад

Don't you think the bikes should come with a helmet? You give them a bike they didn't know how to ride. What if they crash and suffer brain damage? Oh, that's a different charity.
