Will A Charity Shop Accept An Exercise Bike?

[venator]

We bought one a couple of months ago, and it's done about 100 miles.

I hurt my back on it, and it's just sitting there. It weighs a ton.

Anyone know if say, Age Concern would collect it?

BHS (British Heart Foundation) would collect it from round here.

... or do you have a local facebook sales page like we do, or a Freecycle system?

I don't see why not they'll take just about any thing if they think they can turn a profit on it.

Most charity shops would accept it but I've seen them in the British Heart Foundation specialist Furniture & Electrical shops which, due to the nature of what they sell (such as 3 piece suites), have extremely good arrangements for the collection of items.

Most of the big charities have websites - they should give you the information that you need. Or maybe a smaller local charity?

[Sharingan]

IKf not and you can't sell it, put it on Freecycle or Freegle.

How do you do 100 miles on an exercise bike?

[venator]

Thanks for the help. We don't have a BHF in the village, but I'll check the others out tomorrow.

We have Freegle, but I've donated stuff, and think it may have gone to dealers.

Hopkirk - the miles are virtual, but the pain is real....

[Hopkirk]

I always knew exercise was bad for you.

Cheers, Hopkirk, I'll 'phone that number in the morning.
