The first ever Bike For Africa, North America Edition took place in October 2017. This edition was a road biking adventure from Niagra Falls to New York City over about five days of wind in your hair, sun in your face biking. The first edition raised funds to support the Georgie Badiel Foundation, which builds wells to provide clean drinking water to the nation of Burkina Faso, and Malaika, which builds educational programs for girls, parents and community members in the Congo (DRC).
