Project Rwanda (http://www.projectrwanda.org)
is an excellent way to get some good coffee bean, help family coffee farmers in Rwanda, and help the general economy of Rwanda.
The "bicycle part" of the project:
Coffee grown on small family farms in Rwanda is taken to market on wooden "bicycles". They're actually more push scooters made completely from wood - even the wheels are wood. One of the bicycle projects is to replace these with low-cost specially-made bicycles that can replace the wooden bicycles.
The "coffee" - you can order it from a U.S. partner in Project Rwanda (located in California). It ships as vacuum-packed whole beans and is quite good - it has a very 'earthy' taste.
