This episode of the Outside Podcast is brought to you by Saris,

maker of indoor trainers, power meters, and bike racks.

It's a company of cyclists, making products they themselves want to use.

Products like the Cyclops H2 and M2 smart trainers. The H2 and M2 are the second

generation of the Hammer and Magnus indoor trainers with better power accuracy and a more realistic ride feel if you pair them with Ruvie or swift training software.

There's also a new headless mode that allows you to train without connecting to a computer.

Not only that, but it basically looks like the trainer version of a stealth bomber.

But Saris isn't just about state-of-the-art technology. Since 2012, Saris has also partnered

with world bicycle relief, whose mission is to help those in need by eliminating transportation barriers.

Two things that are really important for us are kids and bikes. We spend a lot of our energy trying to figure out how to help both.

This is Chris Fortune, co-founder of Saris.

Recently, Chris launched a fundraising campaign that raised enough money for world bicycle relief to build

over 240 buffalo bikes, specially designed bicycles that are built to handle big loads and tough roads.

Chris and his son went to Zambia to help hand them out.

The target for us was girls that are traveling long distance, the schools and how do we provide them transportation via the

bike to get home from home to school in a way that gives them a better opportunity.

With the help of partners like Seris World Bicycle Relief has built thousands of

buffalo bikes and Zambia alone they're donating 4,000 of them. You know the images

still stay with me you know how much opportunity there is still to help. This winter,

Saris is part of the Ride On for World Bicycle Relief,

presented by SWIFT, a global 24-hour virtual fundraising ride.

But if you want to participate, you'll need a smart trainer.
