We’ll take any bicycle, in any condition. We’ll refurbish the bicycle, use it for parts or scrap it. Some of the bicycles will be available for our “Sweat Equity” program – individuals can receive credit by volunteering at CT and in return use that credit to purchase a refurbished bicycle from our stock.

Funds generated from the sale of these bicycles or their parts will go towards the operating costs of Cycle Transitions, a non-profit, volunteer-run organization working to increase safe cycling in Northumberland County.  (www.cycletransitions.org)

If you have bicycles or parts to donate, but don’t have the means to transport them, give us a call (905.377.1278) or send an email (info@cycletransitions.org); we’ll arrange for them to be picked up.
