Here are some contact details for other organisations recycling bicycles:
Re-cycle - these are based in Essex, but should have a London hub you
might be able to use.
http://re-cycle.org/
http://www.re-cycle.org/home/Contact/Us Tel 0845 458 0 854
Cycles for Asylum Seekers - these are based in London, but I have no
other details apart from the phone number Tel: 020 7690 7134
If these two can't help then you could try BikeLinks - they're based in
Manchester, but organise local cycling projects across the country
(these are the people I use):
http://cpnw.newcomweb.demon.com/Bikelinks-page1.htm Lee Eckersley is the
guy you'd need to speak to, and can be contacted at the following
address:
or by telephone on 0161 736 6366
Finally, there's Cycling Aid Ukraine - a guy called Tony is launching a
scheme to train Ukrainians to recycle bicycles. He might be interested
in taking yours. You can contact him at: Aidventures
(www.aidventures.co.uk), Tony Pritchard on 01978 753164, 07855 462591 or
email:
