Pedal power: How bicycles can change lives

One man’s mission to transform millions of lives by selling them bicycles

This is the story of how one man is trying to transform lives through the power of the humble bicycle.

Many rural communities in rural Africa don’t have access to cars or good roads, which can make it hard to take fresh produce to market or get to school.

But Wyson Lungu wants to change that with an innovative scheme to sell affordable bicycles. We follow him as he delivers a new set of bicycles to excited customers in southern Zambia.

Produced and presented by Richard Kenny
