Hey Everyone,

The Bike Project (link at bottom) do great work fixing up donated bikes (in pretty much any state) then getting them to refugees who use them for essential stuff. Ordinarily they rely on people taking bikes to them but that's obviously tricky in these weird times and their donations have dropped.

I've therefore offered to be a temporary drop-off point for SE22 and areas around, next Thursday night (7th) from 5 - 7:30pm. Will all be contact free and from a safe distance. Send me a DM if you have stuff to donate and I'll let you know full address (and happy to provide evidence that this isn't a seriously poor taste hustle - they'll also be crossposting on social media etc later in the week). Also if you're interested in being a drop-off point for them in a different area.

In return I'll post photos of the inevitable rusty pile up, and you'll have done a good deed. Bikes are lifelines right now.

Cheers

Can be parts too, just provided they've still got a bit of life in them and not completely wrecked!

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```
Your code goes here
```
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.
