How about donating it to a good cause?
We are in partnership with The Sue Ryder Charity and give between 100 – 150 donated bicycles to them every year. Some are from our repair workshop when the customer doesn’t want to spend a certain amount of money bringing their bicycle back to a safe road worthy machine, others are from the general public either clearing out their own garages and sheds or a beloved one who has passed away and no-one in the family wants it.
From our shop the bicycles and any donated parts and accessories are taken just 4 miles down the road to HMP Gartree where they have 6 workshop bays that either clean and restore the good ones or break down and use as donor bikes for the bad ones.
If you would like to donate a bicycle or a box of old spares, we do not run a booking in or appointment systems so you can just drop them off at your own convenience and we will take care of the rest.
We have given them bicycles, tandems unicycles, scooters as well as a ton of donated parts and useable tyres.
