BIKE COLLECTION IS ON HOLD UNTIL 2012
If you have a bike for us - please hang on to it for another month or so. Our collection partners , Bicycle Super Store, get very busy this time of year - so if can be a little patient that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
If you have a bike to give us you can drop it at one of the many locations (see the FAQ section) that act as pick-up points for our three Australian chapters (Melbourne, Sydney and Perth). We’ll be by within a few weeks to pick it up, prep it and pack it for its journey to a new life. Here are a few points to keep in mind and commonly asked questions answered.
What kind of Bikes can you take?
We can put almost any bike to good use - however we can only send mountain bikes and sturdy hybrids to Africa and other destinations. Bikes that aren’t suitable for shipping are either distributed to groups such as refugee families in Australia or passed on to help fund shipping and other costs.
What condition does the bikes need to be in?
The bike needs to be in working or easily fixable condition. Generally rust is the biggest problem. Small issues like brake and gear cables or flat tyres are no problem.
Do you take bike parts?
Yes - bike parts are extremely helpful.
Can you pick up my bike?
Unfortunately as a completely volunteer run organisation we don’t have the resources to pick up individual bikes. If you have more than 15 then let us know and we may be able to drop by when doing the Bicycle Super Store run.
