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.

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.
