Empowering people with opportunity (and bicycles)

This summer I will be riding north from Antelope Wells, NM until I can't anymore. I will be fundraising for World Bicycle Relief. Read more to learn about WBR and how you can help make the world a better place!

About me

My name is Cooper Snell

I am a Starkville, MS native graduating from Mississippi State University in May of 2026. Before I begin my career in civil engineering, I will be biking along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and raising money for World Bicycle Relief

About World Bicycle Relief

World Bicycle Relief is a non-profit social enterprise that provides bicycles to men, women, and children in rural Africa and South America.

These bicycles aren't toys or workout equipment, though. They help students get to school, doctors get to patients, and farmers get their produce to market. These bicycles represent a real increase in opportunity for people to achieve their goals.

"World Bicycle Relief mobilizes communities in rural regions around the world to thrive with life-changing bicycles.

We aspire for individuals to have access to an appropriate transport option that is affordable, safe, and meets their needs and preferences. We are experts in bicycle mobility and design bicycle mobility solutions.

We envision a world where bicycles improve healthcare and education outcomes and broaden economic opportunities so individuals and communities can thrive."
