BIDII YETU — NO LIMITS
Advancing disability inclusion through cycling, sports, and partnerships.
Bidii Yetu—No Limits is a nonprofit that promotes disability-inclusive cycling across Africa and builds connections among disabled persons' organizations, cycling groups, sports and recreation organizations, and international partners.
Its vision is a world where people discover the strength to overcome the barriers that hold them back, regardless of disability.
What It Does
Bidii Yetu brings together adaptive and two-wheel cyclists through ambitious, inclusive events that demonstrate capability, build public awareness, and help local organizations develop their own cycling programs.
In 2023, five cyclists traveled more than 2,400 kilometers from Namibia's Atlantic coast to Mozambique's Indian Ocean. Two riders were paraplegic and used handcycles. Along the route, local cyclists and disability organizations, including the Botswana Council for the Disabled, joined the group.
The next major event is a 1,000-kilometer ride across Botswana from October 24 through November 7, 2026. Bidii Yetu and the Botswana Council for the Disabled are organizing the ride as a model for other African organizations and cycling clubs to adopt.
Why It Matters
People with disabilities often face barriers to mobility, recreation, visibility, and full participation in community life. Inclusive cycling can strengthen health, confidence, connection, advocacy, and opportunity while challenging assumptions about disability.
HRX8 Connection
Bidii Yetu—No Limits comes to HRX8 through Harvard '78 classmate Matthew “Matt” Gamser, who is a member of its international team and a leader in its cycling and partnership initiatives.
