In response to the US-led bombing campaign of Nicaragua in 1984, Michael Replogle, the founder of ITDP, came up with the modest but innovative notion of sending bikes instead of bombs* as a kind of humanitarian aid to those in need of mobility, such as teachers and healthcare personnel in rural areas. According to Replogle, “we set out to organize bike clubs and churches to donate secondhand bicycles as a way to demonstrate how basic mobility can massively improve quality of life as well as to empower ordinary American citizens who felt helpless to stop the actions of their government.”
