From my perspective, this is golden opportunity to help someone in Africa move themselves ahead in life.
Bikes can change lives! If you have a bike to donate – think Bicycles for Humanity.
Can we still donate a bike? If so how and where?

You can donate it to cycle salvation in Ottawa year round at 477 bronson.
Cycle Salvation is a social enterprise operating under the umbrella of Causeway Work Centre. Our business strives to achieve a triple bottom line (profit, people, planet) by providing training and employment in the field of bike mechanics to people who are economically disadvantaged, while at the same time diverting bikes destined for scrap and landfill sites. Our employees refurbish donated bicycles using a multi-point inspection process. Bicycles range in price from $100 to $200. Please note that we do not offer repairs or tune-ups.
