Donate Your Bike and Bike Parts
Bay Area cyclists! Donate your bike, bike parts and accessories to Live in Peace! Your donations are what power our organization, provide our youth with learning opportunities to work on different types of bikes, help our kids ride quality equipment they normally can’t afford, and provide essential transportation to those in need in our community.
What Donations Does Live in Peace Bike Shop Accept?
We’ll take most bikes that are not completely rusty (a rusty chain is okay) and did not originate from a department store (Target or Walmart, as these types of bikes use too much mechanic time and parts). We can especially use nice road, gravel/cyclocross and mountain bikes, as they can help ensure our enthusiastic youth have nice bikes to ride on our outings, and our apprentice mechanics are experienced in modern technology.
We’ll also accept bike parts and accessories that plenty of life left. We can always use new or like-new bike components of all types, along with new inner tubes and tires with lots of life left.
You can drop off bikes and bike parts during our open shop hours, typically five days a week. If you have a large, valuable donation, please email us pictures and we’ll see if we can arrange a pickup!
You can also donate your bike at our growing list of satellite donation drop-off centers at local bike shops, including weekend hours. They’ll issue you a tax donation receipt on the spot!
Can I get a tax-deductible receipt for my bike or equipment donation?
Of course! We’ll email you an electronic receipt on the spot for your donation.
Where to Donate Your Bicycle or Parts:
The Live in Peace nonprofit bike shop is at 2524 Pulgas Ave in East Palo Alto (map here), just a few pedal strokes from the beautiful Bay Trail! Our shop faces the back of the building, so turn down off Pulgas on the side of our building, and we’re at the back. You may park just past our front door to unload.
