A bike. Poor people in underdeveloped countries can use it to get access to education and markets, while people from developed countries can ise it to keep healthy and reduce their environmental footprint

I was going to say that, but out of the 6 bikes in the garage none of them are under $100 even second hand.

In fact I would advise against getting a cheap shitty bike that isn’t going to last. Spend the extra money, get something good. It’s better for the environment and your wallet in the long run.

Yeah I was going to say this too. I got a cheap Walmart bike and it was still $300.

Here in Germany you can get a second hand bike for free. In the UK I used to be able to get one for about 50£…My current one is quite fancy, and I got it for 180€, so I don’t think it’s impossible to find it cheap and good.
