BikeTown U.S.A., Bicycling magazine's ever-growing initiative using bikes to change people's lives, now has a new home. From its inauspicious beginnings in Portland, ME, the BikeTown Project has become an international venture with the BikeTown Africa Project. This area is also a great spot for new riders to learn skills, find new gear, talk with other cyclists and watch videos about the magic one new bike can bring to a person's life.
