Unsure if this has been done on here, but recently came across these guys, The Bike Project. Looks like they do some great work helping refugees with transport....bikes!

I am sure many of us have spare parts or even the odd old bike they could repair and give to someone who would really benefit from it?

I have a spares which I would love to donate but they only accept complete bikes as donations 🙁

How about a STW refugee bike build?

Ah, I didn't spot the bit about not wanting spares. There must be enough knocking around here for an STW build surely

I have cable disc brakes, rotors, levers and adaptors ready to go along with some 680 wide bars. Oh and gear cable outer too

Are we going to try and get this off the ground?

Maybe donate some copies of the highway code too 😆 British roads, especially the big cities are dangerous places compared to somewhere like Afghanistan.
