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.”

22-Sekunden-Videoclip zeigt eine urbane Szene bei Nacht auf der leeren Straße, in gelblichen Laternenlicht gehüllt: ein älteres Fahrradmodell, auf dessen Gepäckträger ein Beamer auf Kissen befestigt ist. Die Beamerlinse ist in Fahrtrichtung nach rechts ausgerichtet. Während eine männlich gesehene Person die leere Straße entlangradelt, wirft der Beamer einen Film an die vorüberziehende Hausfront: die weiße Silhouette eines Pferdes galoppiert scheinbar neben dem zügig radelnden Radfahrer her.
