Maya Pedal ist eine in Guatemala ansässige NGO, die es sich zum Ziel gemacht hat, aus alten Fahrrädern alle möglichen Maschinen zu bauen, die dann durch Muskelkraft angetrieben werden. Frei von Strom und je nach Aufgabe der Maschinen mit jeder Menge Fitness-Potenzial.
2 KommentareMario Juarez, Director of Maya Pedal, says that the NGO’s mission is simple: the organization seeks to provide solutions — whether it’s related to transportation and hauling or making time-consuming labor easier — for Guatemalan families, as well as families all over the world. Juarez says that the ingenuity behind the bicimáquinas arose from the need of the people in his community — some needed more efficient ways to complete tasks such as washing their clothes and preparing different types of foods and Maya Pedal stepped up to the challenge.
