Donate a Bike

Do you have a bike that is no longer useful to you? Perhaps you have replaced it, a family member has grown out of it, or it just requires too much TLC and you would like to donate it to a useful cause. If so, please click ‘Donate a Bike’ below to find out more about the process before completing our online form. This will help us find your bike a new home. Look at our shop FAQ page to find out more about donations.

Recycling

We are always very touched by the generosity of the people of Faringdon and the surrounding community. Each bike we receive is carefully assessed by one of our volunteer mechanics. We do our best to recycle as many bike parts as we can from other bikes to restore each one to an almost new condition. Bikes and parts that can’t be restored are carefully broken down and recycled.

Own a Pre-loved Bike

Once our bikes have been restored and cleaned, we price them and place them in our shop in Faringdon town centre for visitors to come and try for themselves and as gifts. We always take the time to discuss the most suitable bike given each person’s needs may be different.
