Donate a Used Bike
Don’t let that used bike rust away! You can help Charlotte kids from fragile neighborhoods learn life skills through biking by donating good, used bicycles for repair and resale to our non-profit organization. Pickup can often be arranged for these donations. Contact us for more information.
The Re-Cyclery provides a place where donated used bicycles not used in the Earn-A-Bike program can be fixed up and sold to provide income for the programs of Trips for Kids Charlotte.
This program attempts to bring low-cost transportation options to Charlotteans who need inexpensive transportation in the form of re-cycled bikes that have been repaired by experienced volunteers.
The Re-Cyclery has bicycle tools, workbenches and stands, re-cycled and new parts, and an experienced staff coordinator to supervise and review work. Charlotte residents can donate good, used, repairable bikes to the Re-Cyclery, which are then sold to provide revenue for the Trips for Kids Charlotte programs.
Keeping bicycles out of landfills and extending their use in the community are environmental and health benefits that are part of the goals of Trips for Kids Charlotte.
