From the linked article, a woman pushes he bike in Kenya, text reads A bike is more than transport. It puts safety in my own hands’ On the winding roads of rural Kenya, World Bicycle Relief offers a route out of poverty for farmers who would otherwise have to pay for hazardous motorbike trips Benzy Oyugi began selling vegetables at 18 years old with a pound of start-up cash and a determination to succeed for the child growing in her belly. For two decades Oyugi, now 40, would wake up before dawn to catch a slow bus to buy the produce and dried fish she sells at her roadside stall in Kakamega county, in Kenya’s rural western highlands. The round trip took hours, there was a risk she could squash her goods in the cramped bus, and the fare would eat into the day’s takings. “I have been working hard for many years,” she says as she arranges dried fish. “But now the bicycle helps me.”

A bicycle posing, resting on its kickstand. It's a black Raleigh Sports 3-speed with mud guards, a reed basket hangs from the handlebars. Crappy, mismatched rubber handles adorn the handlebars. A herringbone tweed saddle bag hangs from the leather saddle. The rear mudguard has the classic english bike white paint at the rear of the mudguard. It's on a sidewalk, green grass behind. In the background, vintage signs adorn the side of a building.
