Turn abandoned bikes into community impact
Organise your own bike repair and donation program. Repair old bikes, bring volunteers together, and get bicycles to the people who need them most.
Thousands of bikes are abandoned every year
They are left to rust in alleys, garages and landfills, while many people still struggle to reach work, school or essential services. This program exists to close that gap.
The mission is simple: take unwanted bicycles, refurbish them with care, and donate them to individuals and families who need a way to get around.
This is more than recycling. It restores opportunity, dignity and freedom of movement. Each refurbished bike reduces waste, lowers emissions, and helps someone move toward a better future.
Three ways in
- Donate a bike
- Any frame, any condition. Rusted, missing wheels, decades old, because the repair drive is built around bikes in exactly that state.
- Volunteer an afternoon
- No mechanical experience needed. Someone experienced runs the bench and teaches as the work goes; most volunteers learn to fix their own bike in the process.
- Run the drive yourself
- Take the toolkit, pick a date and a venue, and we help you collect bikes, find volunteers and place the finished ones with local recipients.
Together we can turn forgotten frames into tools for change, one pedal stroke at a time.

Tell us where you are. We will send the toolkit and connect you with leaders who have run one before.
