I’ve got a load of kit that I need to get rid of - most of it has hardly been worn. I’ve got jerseys, bib shorts, a couple of helmets and some additional bits and pieces.

I want to donate it to somewhere that could use it, I could just go for a regular charity shop - but would rather offer it to something cycling specific. Does anybody know a charity that would appreciate it?

Maybe this?

If I'm some not confusing it with something else, an ex-colleague did his volunteering day there and said it's a great place where people donate bikes and parts (generally recycle bikes) to help people learn and build their own bikes or the charity build them for them..something like that. Maybe they could appreciate some kit to make money for the charity.

Bumping this. I've got some old unused kit that could go to a new home. Anyone know somewhere I can donate it to?

Looks like it's been stopped for now because they got more kit than they had money to transport. In a good way.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
