Bicycle poverty reduction is the concept that access to bicycles and the transportation infrastructure to support them can dramatically reduce poverty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our Impact )〕 This has been demonstrated in various pilot projects in South Asia and Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bicycle: The Unnoticed Potential )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 How can the bicycle assist in poverty eradication and social development in Africa? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Pedal Powered Hope Project (PPHP) )〕 Experiments done in Africa (Uganda and Tanzania) and Sri Lanka on hundreds of households have shown that a bicycle can increase the income of a poor family by as much as 35%.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Project Tsunami Report Confirms The Power of Bicycle )〕 Transport, if analyzed for the cost–benefit analysis for rural poverty alleviation, has given one of the best returns in this regard. For example, road investments in India were a staggering 3–10 times more effective than almost all other investments and subsidies in rural economy in the decade of the 1990s. What a road does at a macro level to increase transport, the bicycle supports at the micro level. The bicycle, in that sense, can be one of the best means to eradicate poverty in poor nations. ==Gallery== File:Banana-bike.jpg|Men in Uganda using a bicycle to transport bananas File:Person mit fahrrad feb07.jpg|A man uses a bicycle to carry goods in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso File:Keset sabut kelapa.jpg|A man hauling coconuts fiber doormats in Indonesia File:Viet pack bike as used 2007.JPG|A man hauling material with a bicycle in Vietnam File:Coconut bunch.jpg|A bicycle hauling coconuts File:Loaded bi-cycle.jpg|A man hauling scrap by bicycle in China File:Water delivery.jpg|A man delivering water by bicycle in Nanjing, China File:Farmers on bicyle 2.jpg|Farmers hauling corn stalks by bicycle in southeast Asia File:Bicycle Boda Boda in Uganda.JPG|Bicycle Boda Boda in Uganda File:Working bicycle in Moshi, Tanzania (2013).JPG|Hauling firewood by bicycle in Moshi, Tanzania File:Breadbike.jpg|Distributing bread by bicycle near Lake Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of the Congo File:Indonesia bike29.JPG|Cracker vender bicycle (sepeda karak) in North Jakarta, Indonesia File:Indonesia bike39.jpg|Sewing machine bicycle (sepeda penjahit) in Jakarta, Indonesia File:Indonesia bike11.JPG|Water transportation by bicycle in Jakarta, Indonesia File:SAIGON (2042419912).jpg|Girls going to school by bicycle in Saigon, Vietnam File:Dapingqiao - schoolchildren riding home - DSCF4120.JPG|Children returning home from school by bicycle in Xiazhai, China File:Chukudu in North Kivu.jpg|A man transporting bananas by chukudu in North Kivu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bicycle poverty reduction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
