Hey, have you guys heard of jole rider? These guys get African kids to school on refurbished bikes sent from the UK and other places. They also do bundles more in the name of promoting the bike thing. I think they are good to list.

Yes, its legit. I picked up the “coupon” for it at the grocery store. You just enter UPC codes from Cadbury products. Each 100 codes gets a bike and you get entered into a contest for each code you provide (5 per day).

@Rich

There’s one I never heard of! (But that makes sense since I’m not in Canada.)

It looks legitimate to me, although it’s a charitable action from a for-profit corporation, rather than a charity. But since they’re taking UPC codes as opposed to cash, it doesn’t really matter.

Looks perfectly legitimate (and normal) to me:
