What can I donate?

Here at Back Alley Bikes, we welcome these donations:

Used bikes in any condition
Bicycle parts in any condition
Bicycle-specific tools
Bicycle accessories (racks, apparel, etc)
New locks (or used working locks with keys)
New helmets
Durable storage containers for organizing parts
Cash donations (tax-deductible!)
Your time as a volunteer – even if you’ve never fixed a bike, we can find you a way to help!

We do not accept:

Used helmets (we cannot confirm their safety or effectiveness since helmet foam degrades over time)
Non-bike related sports equipment
Used household tools (wrenches, screw drivers, etc.)
New bikes (we focus on rebuilding used bikes and have plenty of them to work on!)

We also have a *Wish List* of non-bicycle related items which would make us happier and the shop more comfortable for everyone:
