Baisikeli

In Denmark, hundreds of thousands of bicycles are scrapped every year. In large parts of Africa, there is a great need for cheap means of transport. The idea was simple: Baisikeli was to collect some of the roughly 400,000 bicycles that are thrown away here in Denmark every year and send them to Africa, where they were to be repaired by a local bicycle workshop and sold at market price. As the operation grew, the need for ongoing income increased, which resulted in the cousins Niels Bonefeld and Henrik Mortensen opening the now well-known bicycle workshop in Vesterbro in 2007. Since then, they have opened branches in Slangerup and Valby, and started renting out cargo bikes for tourists in particular, who want to experience the Danish capital the way Copenhageners do, via bicycle.

With greater demand for their coveted cargo bikes, came the need to streamline the process from booking to delivery of bikes.
