Where to donate bikes?
I've got a couple of bikes that i don't use and i want to donate to an appropriate charity (ie one that will see them end up with a cyclist rather than flogged off in a charity shop).
One is a 2014 defy 1 and the other is a steel single speed, both in great working order.
Having just seen a short film about cycling in Rwanda I would love them to go to somewhere in Africa, but am open to any alternatives.
Can anyone recommend somewhere that either picks up or i can drop off near Brighton? The only places i can find don't pick up and the nearest drop off point is in london, which doesn't suit.

Quite. I was wondering where the cycling infrastructure is located that causes drivers to go 90 on the M3?

I don't know if this is of any interest to you? http://neutralservice.cc/about/womens-cycling-benevolent-fund/

Perhaps it would be better to sell them locally and donate the proceeds to a charity (with GiftAid) active in that area (rather than them having the task of shipping the bike across the globe)?
Yeah, thanks but I had found that place on google myself. I'm really after a recommendation for a good charity, I don't just want to give them to a place that sells them on.
The problem is to get the bikes to Africa I have to drop off in London, which I'm not prepared to do.
