It makes me sad that these sorts of things never get released in the US, even on a "pay twice the price to get one for you and fund one for the needy" kind of scheme. We want them too!

Wtf are you talking about? Surly is an American company, they make and sell those things here.

WTF are you talking about? The "Buffalo Bike" isn't a Surly; it's apparently designed by an organization called "World Bicycle Relief."

OP's third link specifically says:

But you can’t buy a Buffalo Bike, or at least not for yourself. A $165 donation helps donate a bike to someone in need.

Oh, I miss read it. But the real question is why a buffalo bike over literally any other steel bike?

Somebody should create a video talking about that.
