GOODBIKES

by Yana Okoliyska for Desert & Ocean Coworking

Goodbikes is a community driven initiative that transforms tourism into a force for social good in Namibia. By encouraging visitors in Swakopmund to purchase bicycles at preferential rates and donate them before departing, the project provides essential transportation for local residents. In collaboration with businesses and the municipality, each donated bike is repaired and redistributed, fostering greater mobility, supporting locals, and promoting sustainable, low carbon transport. A simple yet powerful idea, Goodbikes proves thoughtful design and collective action drive real impact.
