CAKE has received a number of awards in recent years not just because of its outstanding design, but also because of its efforts geared towards the betterment of the community. We’ve seen CAKE’s bikes used to protect wildlife in Africa, where Kalk bikes were used by rangers to drive away poachers. This time around, would-be owners of special edition CAKE bikes will be able to help the environment by protecting the bees.
Yes, you read that right—bees. As it would turn out, bees are extremely important for our ecosystem, as they’re largely responsible for the proliferation of various plant life. CAKE explains that the number of insects have decreased substantially in the past 30 years, causing the ecosystem to slow down. This is largely because of insecticides being used, which apparently, also kill important insects apart from the pests that are trying to be minimized.
