Do you have a used bicycle lying around that your kids have outgrown or that you’re not using anymore? Here’s your opportunity to donate it!
On Thursday, May 17th between 8:00 a.m. and Noon, you can drop off used bicycles in the parking lot of Synopsys’ Building D in Sunnyvale. Synopsys volunteers will be onsite to help you unload your bikes.
Clean bicycles in need of minor repairs will be accepted and donated to the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition where they will be repaired and then donated to needy adults and children through qualified social service partners. Your bicycle donation is tax deductible and all types of bicycles are accepted. Please review the "Donation Guidelines" below for more information.
- Donation Guidelines
Bicycles of all sizes from tricycles up to adult bicycles are accepted. Flat tires and broken or missing parts are no problem. Volunteers can fix almost anything; however, the Bicycle Coalition doesn't restore paint and they can't reverse corrosion. Before donating your bike, ask yourself: - Could an experienced mechanic make this bike functional and safe in one hour or less?
- Is the bike substantially free of rust and corrosion?
- Is the bike clean enough that you could offer it as a gift without embarrassment?
If your answers are all "yes", then your bikes will be gladly accepted. Please clean up your bike before donating it so the Bicycle Coalition can focus on repairs.
