We're not a cycling related charity, but you could always donate to us (see sig)

Otherwise - have you thought about sustrans: http://www.sustrans.org.uk/

Re-cycle: http://www.re-cycle.org/

Or maybe UK Youth who have a cycling team this year: http://www.teamukyouth.co.uk/site/index ... 5&Itemid=3

Remember to Gift Aid it too - and it becomes even more.

Cycling Action Safety & Health.

use the initials on the cheque where it says payee.

Pm me for more details

Hi,
Friend of mine is doing a (four day!) LEJoG for recycle next month:

I'm sure he'd appreciate the support, if you wanted to route the recycle donation that way!

Cheers,

There is a charity called Bike Station in Edinburgh. They split parts from old donated bikes to make full bikes, let you hire a bike stand to repair/service your bike and sell second hand replacement parts to repair your ride with.

All in the aid of getting people on bikes.

I use their equipment a lot as bike stands are expensive and I live in a flat.

Amazing - and they are spreading.
