This event will serve as a collection site for used bikes and bike parts for the charity Bikes for the World.
Win cool schwag during race day* when you donate a repairable or better-condition, complete
(or nearly-complete) bicycle or usable bike parts to the charity Bikes for the World. At the race, we will collect ANY serviceable
bicycle, adult or children’s size, accompanied by a suggested $10 per bike
donation to defray overseas shipping costs. *must include $10 donation.
Bikes for the World, in partnership with Coastal Racing Club, collects repairable or better-condition complete
(or nearly-complete) bicycles and usable bike parts, for donation in
developing countries.
1. Bicycles
We accept ANY serviceable
bicycle, adult or children’s, accompanied by a suggested $10 per bike
donation to defray a share of the costs in getting bikes to quality
programs overseas and get information back for donors and the public.
Flat tires or a missing seat or pedal matter little. Mountain bikes
are the most-desired models. Also highly desirable are fat-tired
one-speed “cruisers”, three-speed touring bicycles, and good-quality
men’s road bicycles. We also accept tandems, recumbents, adult
tricycles, trail-a-bikes, and even unicycles. We accept scooters in
good condition.
We DO NOT generally accept: children’s
tricycles, “Razor” scooters, bicycle frames lacking any or most
components, or “rust-bucket” bikes whose painted frames are beginning
to rust through or whose chains are frozen solid with rust.
We
welcome children’s bikes, because (1) they get children to school, (2)
servicing a kid’s bike overseas generates mechanic employment just as
an adult bike does, and (3) they fit well into the interstices of a
shipping container (and increase the value of the shipment)!
2. Bike-related items
In
addition, we gratefully accept most bicycle spare parts and components
(e.g., tubes, tires, chains, cables, and mountain bike handlebars, but
not “drop” handlebars), accessories (e.g., pumps, locks, helmets,
gloves), bicycle books and manuals, bicycle tools (including wrenches,
screwdrivers, and hammers), and operating portable sewing machines.
These items fit well within the shipments of bicycles, adding value
without displacing bicycles, and are much welcomed.
