What Happens to my Bike?
Donated bikes are used to support the Academy’s community bike workshop. Bikes are:
- Repaired and reused where possible
- Used to help train volunteers and mechanics
- Responsibly recycled if beyond repair
Every donated bike helps more people access cycling in Manchester and keeps bikes out of landfill.
If you donate your bike, your donation will help make Manchester Cycling Academy CIC more sustainable. Not only will it help us to get more people active, it will help to reduce carbon emissions and reduce the amount of metal sent to landfill, it will help us raise funds to continue with our community activities.
All you need to do is to contact us via WhatsApp to the right of the page and we will do the rest. If you live close to our workshop at the Boiler House you can drop it off at any time,
