As it is around the globe, riding bikes can be about breaking down walls and allowing an ever-growing group of riders to connect and feed off each other's inspirations and influences.
In this film BAHATI PATIENT lead us through the streets of Gisenyi , One Of Rwanda's city, to illustrate just what a difference riding bikes has made to their lives and what their hopes are for the history of the sport in their town.
BMX on the streets of Gisenyi seems to be a blend of both old- and new-school influences and looks set to head off in its own unique direction as the riders and scene evolves. We can't wait to see just what the future brings for BMX in Rwanda.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
