Have a bike in good condition taking up space because you recently upgraded your wheels, or maybe somebody outgrew it or got too cool for it? Here's a great way to find a wonderful home for it.

It's that time of year again when we accept lightly used and loved bikes for our donation program. We do all of the work to make the bikes safe and you get a tax donation! We donate the bikes to lucky recipients at the Northern Westchester Community Center. You can drop bikes off during regular store hours. If you have any questions about whether your bike could be donated, please call the shop at 914-666-4044 or email pictures to [email protected].
