Every bike we get helps support our work promoting cycling, providing training and offering volunteering and other opportunities.
By selling affordable second-hand bikes it also helps give everyone the opportunity to get cycling.
In order for us to refurbish and resell your donated bikes and bike parts, they need to be of a well-maintained standard.
Drop-off Donations
As our van drivers operate on a volunteer basis, it is always better if you bring your donations to one of our stores:
Bike for Good – West 65 Haugh Rd, Glasgow G3 8TX
Bike for Good South 539 Victoria Rd, Langside Ln, Glasgow G42 8BH
Please drop off your donated bikes between 9 am and 5 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Just pop in with the bike and let one of our colleagues know that you are handing it in as a donation.
Bike Donation Collection
If you cannot drop your bike off to one of our hubs, we can arrange for collection. In order to use our collection service, email us and fill in the relevant details asked. You will see a few elements to fill in in the email. Please ensure these are all filled in.
We will be in contact to confirm a collection date once a request has been received.

Bike Donation Collection Form
what happens to my donation?
Our aim is to re-use as many bicycles as we can, giving them a new lease of life. We have a team of qualified mechanics who are all specialists in refurbishing all the many different types of bicycle.
We sell many of the bikes that we refurbish which helps support our work promoting cycling, and we also often provide bicycles to other organisations, charities, youth groups etc to encourage others to cycle, usually in conjunction with cycle training.
Some bikes that we receive are beyond refurbishment – these bikes often have some reusable parts so we strip them of any useable parts to reuse on other bikes. The rest of the bike is then sent for scrap metal recycling. The only part of a bike we can’t recycle are the tyres, but we’re always looking for ways to use them!
