We will be in touch
I'm treating my kids to a couple of nice new bikes (Frog) now they can both ride and are showing more interest in getting out on the bikes and able to go further. What should I do with their old bikes? They are not worth anything so can't be bothered to put on eBay or try to sell- a bit tatty and rusty in places, but perfectly functional and would be probably be useful to a couple of other kids. Do charity shops take them? seems a shame to take them down to the tip.
Freecycle, Freagle, local Facebook Free To A Good Home group?
Local bike recycling place?
I just stuck a basic 16" wheel kids bike on eBay. Collection only. Sold for £7 which is £2 more than I paid on eBay a few years back. But the main thing is the woman who collected is made up her daughter has a bike for the summer.
One of the second hand shops in my town has recently dedicated half of his shop solely to selling just this sort of bike and is doing a roaring trade
There are plenty of cycling charities out there who would be grateful for donations.
Offer them on here for the price of a few beers.

Contact your local Sustrans. They'll have them for bike-it and give them to kids without bikes :0)
