Can it be? In this whole forum there's nothing about Project Rwanda? A search revealed nada. Gotta be here somewhere....
Short story: looking for Ritchey cleats, lead to info on Tom Ritchey, lead to his involvement with this organization.

Welcome, Beccak19!
Worthwhile project, enthusiastic team. Blogs worth visiting.
Project Rwanda's cargo bike looks AMAZING.
You might be interested in this cargo bike by ChiapasFixed that made me think of PR's,
yet obviously a whole lot different...

Not sure how or where you were looking, but quick search I did turned up 402 entries for Tom Ritchey, (http://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=6275373) 56 entries for Rwanda (http://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=6275366), and 8 for Project Rwanda (http://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=6275346). There were also 64 entries for Ritchey Cleats. (http://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=6275379)
Good luck on the research.

I put in Project Rwanda (titles only) in the Search the Forum. That yeilds "no matches". I just tried it w/o and got the 8 you mention. Sorry. But it got an important discussion restarted... and some reports & images from there to come I hope.

No apologies needed. :thumb: Completly agree with the importance of the Rwanda Project, and I knew I'd read several strings on it in the past here on the forum so had to find some of them. People just don't always stay 100% on topic within the strings, :wtf: so if you're searching for something I've got to suggest you not look exclusively in the titles. Too much potential to loose things by doing it that way. :commute:
