The Budapest Bike Maffia is among Hungary’s fastest-growing charitable organisations; it was established at Christmas in 2011 by a small group of young cyclists.
Today, its key mission is the distribution of food and fundraising, focussing on helping those who are homeless and families in need. Each year, the BBM team – made up of over 100 volunteers – take to their bikes to distribute over 100,000 meals, in addition to operating 12 innovative charity projects.
These include Sweet Home, which sees volunteers working to create comfortable homes for local families living in council housing; the Seeds of Hope gardening project; and the BBM 50! initiative, which has the goal of increasing empathy and changing negative attitudes towards Budapest’s homeless population.
Culture Trip creates stories that reveal what is unique and special about a place, its people and its culture.

Government radicals – citizen's saints! Most people just wants to eat dinner with their families every night in peace! If you take all the bombs from all the countries and turned that into food and shelter not one person would be cold or hungry. Intelligent people know we can't have ww3 simply because our technology is too powerful there would be nothing left!!! Its all a show of stupidity…good luck all
