Bike & Build had been pedaling to end poverty housing for over five years, and has raised over $1.1 million to date through fund-raising bike trips for the construction of affordable housing in various areas throughout the country. Long-distance cycling trips are interspersed with volunteer work on construction sites, and town-hall presentations about their mission in cities along the tour route. Check out their “Bodies in Motion” video below.
