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.
Drop-off Donations
As our van drivers operate on a volunteer basis, it is always preferable if you can bring your donations to one of our stores, but if you can’t manage this please use the form on the right to request a collection of your donated bike.
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.
We will be in contact to confirm a collection date once a request has been received.
Bike Donation Collection Form
In order for us to refurbish and resell your donated bikes and bike parts, they need to be of a well-maintained standard. If we receive a bike that we cannot refurbish, we need to take it to a landfill. This is not an effective use of our time and increases our carbon footprint. In order to use our collection service, please fill out the form below with as much detail as possible.
All fields below are compulsory in order to submit the form and request collection
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!
