BikeFundi: Mobile repair toolkit coming near you

BikeFundi employees work on bicycles at a city estate.

Bicycles are almost synonymous with the Kenyan scene. We grew up either riding them for leisure or using them as a means of transport. Conrad Mochu never owned a bike when he was a child, he bought his first bicycle after high school for Sh3,000 which he had earned as a casual labourer.  Today, at 37, he owns an innovative mobile bicycle repairbusiness, called BikeFundi.

BikeFundi, operated from a van, traverses different estates in Nairobi, bringing the mechanics to the clients instead of the other way round. Though a relatively new operation, they say they are already booked round the clock.
