Old bike disposal

    Hi, just wondering if anyone here might know where I can get rid of an old bike?

    I seem to remember there was a charity once that would fix up old bikes and then donate them to people, anyone know anything about this?

    Its not in bad shape, probably been outside too much. Seems a shame to dump it.

    The rediscovery centre in Ballymun has a bike department that accepts donations to be fixed up and sold on, to find their other schemes.

    Rothar used to be the main one I think but from the looks of it they’ve changed to just a regular bike shop, could be wrong though.

    Frontline bikes in Inchicore seem to accept bikes - they train ex-prisoners and people with drug issues as Bike Mechanics using the donated bikes and then the bikes are given to deserving cases I think. I'm about to give one of our old bikes to them.

    There's also something called, I think, Bike Hub in Dun Laoghaire that repurposes bikes for refugees.

    Found them:
