🚲 Where to donate bikes in Louisiana
Used bikes can be repaired and given to kids, commuters and families who need low-cost transportation. Bike charities and community bike shops often hold collection days rather than taking drop-offs all year.
Before you go
- Look for a local community bike shop or co-op; many take bikes year-round.
- Rusted-through frames and broken wheels may only be good for parts, so ask first.
- Some programs ask for a small cash donation per bike to cover shipping.
- Add helmets, locks and pumps if the program accepts them.
