Free bikes and servicing for essential workers during Covid-19. If you have a spare bike, post it here.

Thank you, what condition is it in? Are you able to post photos? I'm vetting donations at the moment as the workshop is full of broken bikes and I don't have the cash to fix them!

Send me a message with the parts you need... got a shed full!

@William. I can lend a hand with mechanic’ing if that’s helpful and we can do socially distanced collection-drop off.

Long link but a decent enough ladies bike. Owner told me via message that the gears work fine, one brake is a bit stiff, needs new tyres/tubes; at £18 collected I reckon it could be a good bike for <£60 + elbow grease.

If anyone wants to chip in with me, I’m in a position to collect it and fix it up for donation to someone in need. 3 hours left on the bid though.

Nest 20 donations to my crowdfunder will recieve a unique, limited edition Bikes For NHS Potato Print! Message me to claim your reward :)

(The value of your potato print may go down as well as up)

I recently moved jobs and have a beater sat at Paddington not getting any use. It a basic single speed with drop bars built on the bottom of the range XB3 frame. It’s functional, the bb and headset are a bit rough and I drilled a rear brake hole into it. It got a new chain last year and hasn’t seen much use since the Elizabeth Line opened.

I know this thread hasn’t seen any replies in a while but if anyone knows of a person or organisation who could make good use of the bike I’d be very happy to arrange to hand it over to them.
