Donate

We are grateful for all donations, big and small. Anything you can give helps keep the project going so we can continue achieving our aims of providing affordable bikes and mechanics training to the people of Leeds.

Bikes

We accept all bikes and parts that are in fair condition (see below).  Read more about what happens to donated bikes. Unfortunately we are generally unable to collect, but we can receive drop offs at the workshop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Unfortunately, due to limited space we reserve the right to refuse any donation which we cannot use.

Parts or accessories

If you’ve got a box of random bike bits still lurking at the back of your garage, we’d happily put them to good use on one of our recycled bikes.

Unwanted lights, bells, hi-vis stuff, racks and so on are also all welcome. These will help kit out a budding cyclist and keep them safe on the roads. Please phone to arrange a time.

Tyres:

We use the Velorim scheme to responsibly dispose of tyres that are no longer viable. This costs us £1.33 per tyre. If you’re donating worn or perished tyres we welcome a contribution to this cost (but we don’t insist on it), either by cash or card in person or using the donate button below.
