For Sale: Track Raleigh giving away for free

You're way out of line there and I'm saying that as someone with a major commitment to to inner city kid's/young people's charities and a huge vested interest in seeing every penny possible donated to them, I work for one and have done for the last 15 years.

I also remember having a conversation with a very serious donor (both in terms of giving serious amounts of money to charity and giving serious thought about how to ensure they achieved the maximum impact with the money they donated). They were astonished by just how desperate the need was in some parts of Africa and just how much more could be achieved with £20,000 donated to an African rather than a British charity and I'm not talking about momentary happiness I'm talking amount permanent changes in quality of life and the ability to live independently without needing to depend on further hand-outs.

Last thing I'd want to see is everyone abandoning British charities to donate to African ones, but giving to charity and who you give to is a matter personal choice. I'll happily uphold your right to give your opinion of someone else's choice, as long, by the same token, you recognise my right to observe that your criticism seems largely informed by ignorance and prejudice.

So this bikes gonna go for 20 grand then?
