BREAKING THE CYCLE
ONE PEDAL AT A TIME
About Us
We firmly believe that every decision, even of the smallest nature, creates a lasting ripple effect in the communities in which we travel.
Ripple Effect Rides is a social impact company that curates unique multi-day cycling challenges across the Kingdom of Cambodia. Through our rides, we connect kind-hearted people who are looking to make a difference with ethical causes. We then facilitate experiences that challenge, push, and inspire participants to maximise their impact.
With a strong focus on alleviating poverty, we specialise in customised charity events on behalf of grassroots organisations and nonprofits.
Through our custom-built Cambodia cycling tours, our local Khmer guides lead groups through remote villages, off the beaten path, and to areas in Cambodia that everyday travellers do not visit. Ride with us, and you will not only see Cambodia in its rawest form, but you will make a difference in the lives of real people, and you will get to see firsthand your impact.
WHERE WE WORK
Our office is based in Siem Reap, home to the world-famous UNESCO Heritage Angkor Wat Temple Complex.
When we aren’t out on the red dirt roads mapping out trails, you can find us at our office in Kandall Village.
Our HQ is where all of our discussions and planning take place, where we brainstorm innovative ideas, collaborate with local partners, and meticulously design each cycling route to ensure a seamless and extraordinary experience for our participants.
