This will enable the youth to manage their emotions better, improve focus at school and reduce risky behaviours.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe programme supports 60 youth from Khayelitsha to nurture positivity, to foster inclusion and to open up young minds to the possibilities that lie beyond (or hidden within) their immediate environments.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"bg-slate-100 p-5\">\n<p>\n\t\t<em>Bicycles have the power to make lives better beyond winning races\u2014they bring people and communities together, motivate us to become better humans, and help us take advantage of what the world has to offer.\u00a0<\/em>\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<em>At pedal project we are committed to breaking down barriers so that all kids have access to bicycles and safe places to ride. we believe that bicycles not only have the ability to improve the health of our youth but also bring the power of opportunity, agency, and freedom to those who have access to the power of two wheels.<\/em>\u00a0\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\t<strong>The SA Dream Bike<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tNaturally, the first place to start is the bike&#8217;s frame which <strong>PYGA Industries<\/strong> supplies; the HYRAX is an all-around trail bike that will enable you to ride most trails in South Africa and beyond.
