    I seem to remember a post about this but can't find it...

    Do folks know of anyone/organisation that would make use of old bikes/parts

    My friend just spotted the bones ('scuse the pun) of at least 4 bikes dumped behind her house.

    They don't look freshly stolen or anything, nothing in perfect condition to say the least - but a few useable frames anyway for maybe bike workshops or the like.

    Great stuff. My friend knows someone I think in the mans club, so I'll do a bit of research on it :)
