To make it short.... I have no longer time to ride or rebuild my Kona Stinky and was wondering if there is a place in MEL who takes bikes for charity or similar. I am not after any money as the bike needs some decent TLC but don't like the idea leaving the 'old warrior' in front of the house like a couch. m
Giving bike for free?

It'd be safer to leave an old unexploded WWII grenade on their doorstep............
But seriously, yes the bike shed would be the best place, it'll get some love'n.
Good man.

Plenty of options actually:

But a quick Google indicates many worthy charities.

Feeling generous enough to post it? I know an African refugee that does bicycle deliveries and would love to rock a stinky.

Send it to the prince of Nigeria, he can fill it full of money and ride it back to your place

We once rang a charity to pick up our 'old' couch (worth a few K's when new, nothing broken) and they turned up and declined it. The fabric faded at one corner due to the sun was their reason to reject it. Couch went into a skip 1hour after.m
I'm sure it would have found a good home at http://www.ozrecycle.com/
Good find! Will keep that in mind for next time.m

Dropped off a couple of frames, two sets of wheels and a crate of spares to CERES today.
As usual they were keen to accept and put to good use. Probably over a dozen people there working on all manor of bikes.
Great to see.
This is helpful, how?

...when you get the bike back it will be full of money. Money can be used to buy stuff...stuff is good to have. I like stuff. Not sure how it helps the prince.

CERES bike shed is awesome. I have dropped off many bikes, whole and parts, over the years. Every hard waste collection I pick up anything that looks serviceable and take it over for them. They are always very appreciative, and they get LOTS of people up and riding, which is a very good thing.
