* Not sure if your bike should be donated? Ask yourself...
-
If purchased in a department store (e.g. Target) is it in like-new condition? *
-
Does it have minimal broken/missing parts?
-
Is it clean enough to offer as a gift?
-
Is it mostly free of rust, corrosion, and dents?
-
Is it accident free?
​​
* Department store bikes are not manufactured to be repaired and require new parts which become cost prohibitive.
