Bike / Parts Donation
At 2nd Cycle, every bike, part, and accessory you donate helps us keep our community rolling. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on community donations to fuel our programs, refurbish bikes, and run our full-service shop. Last year alone we processed over 1,600 bicycles and nearly 10,000 pounds of parts. That's all thanks to people like you.
Note: We do not purchase bikes. If you’re looking to sell your bike, good options include Facebook Marketplace, Pinkbike, or Offerup.

E-Bike Donations
E-bike donations are subject to strict safety rules.​ We only accept E-bikes where the battery can be safely and easily removed (keys must be provided).
​No Rad Power Bikes
Bosch Motor System only
​We do NOT accept broken E-bikes.
Our shop does not have the technical capacity or space to safely store, repair, or process damaged lithium-ion systems. If your E-bike is broken, please drop the battery off at your nearest hazardous waste facility or certified battery recycler, and take the frame to a local metal recycling center.
E-bike donations require mandatory pre-approval.
Please contact lincoln@2ndcycle.org to get explicit approval before bringing any e-bike to the shop, as our staff retains the right to refuse any E-bike donation at the door.
