Team co-owner Sylvan Adams was also on hand when the team visited Kibungo, a village in the Bugesera district that is putting locals on bikes.
Team mechanics and riders shared equipment that they brought with them, and helped work on bikes.
The team presented full kits to the girls’ club, gave bikes to the community center, and promised to send top male and females riders and coaches to support and develop cycling in the village. Scholarships will be available to the top students.
