Support The Bike Station
We started because we believe everyone should have the same opportunity to enjoy the freedom of 2-wheels.
We are still going because our impact is recognised and supported by our supporters, funders, partners, and volunteers who share our beliefs.
​
Please support us in any way you can.
Donate A Bike
We accept the good, bad, and even the ugly, any bikes or bike parts and accessories are acceptable (except e-bikes). Just drop off at one of the following branches:
​
-
Edinburgh: 473 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh, EH11 3AD
-
Perth: 284 High St, Perth PH1 5QS
​
If you need to drop your bike off by car, please see our FAQs for parking options.
​
Please note that our Causewayside branch is permanently closed, please bring Edinburgh donations to Gorgie Road.
Our mechanics evaluate each bike donated. Some bikes are refurbished, while others are used for parts. So, either way, your bike avoids the landfill and supports a sustainable circular economy.

Volunteer Your Time
The Bike Station has a team of around 40 fantastic volunteers – we could only fulfil our mission to help people get cycling and recycle bikes with their support.
If you or the people you work with are interested in volunteering with us, we have lots of ways for you to get involved. We can also support with Duke of Edinburgh and Saltire Awards opportunities.
