Bike Sale Events

The used bicycles we rescue and re-home are collected up in various ways, including as private donations by individuals, as part of our national ‘trade in’ scheme promoted by several major cycling retailers or by schools, as part of an educational scheme we have now established, working in partnership with GMWDA, RecycleGM & TfGM.

Our team of technicians and volunteers first assess the condition of the used bike then our options include:

  • Re-building them for use within the community for cycle training and family rides.
  • Breaking them down to be used during cycle maintenance courses.
  • Providing a source of transport to job seekers.
  • Innovative new design concepts for arts and music projects.

Preloved, pre-owned bikes for sale can be found at our base in Radcliffe, Manchester and are organised fortnightly. The funds raised by these events for pre-owned bikes for sale in Manchester, help to keep the project running into the future.
