In the developing world the most useful bicycles are:
Adult sized sturdy Hybrid or Mountain bicycles.
We can now also accept allBMX bicycles or Children’s bicycles size 24″ or larger.
Generally we cannotaccept small children’s bicycles as we are routinely over run with them however clear we make it that they cannot usually be used. As a volunteer run organisation, we need to be as efficient as possible with the time we are able to commit to our donated bicycle collections and projects.
Where donated bicycles aren’t deemed suitable for African roads, they are still used to benefit our projects by repurposing them for use here in Australia through partnerships with other bicycle based charities. Our partner organisations, such as Second Chance Cycles, support bicycle repairs and resale, with all profits used to buy shipping containers to transport suitable bicycle donations and tools. Your donated bicycle will certainly be put to good use and find a new life.
