There are a ton of bikes out there that aren't used, and there are just as many folks who would love a bike. Lets work it out here, because as we all know, bicycles are awesome. Let's help our fellow riders.

I live in Quincy and used to be part of a bicycle library and have 2 extra bikes that were given to me. PM me if you live near the area and would be interested. I'll trade for anything except alcohol cause I don't drink anymore.

Not worth shipping anywhere.

Within six hours of its last sighting, it was gone. I used all the time to bike to work, even after I got a car. I took so much care of it, spent so much time fixing it, and now it's gone.

If you are in Orange County or LA or anywhere in southern California and have a spare road bike, I'd be ever so willing to have it.

Thank you for reading.

I had an old rust bucket with bright blue handles that was taken over the weekend. I blame it on the word lock,which is a really stupid lock to use I'm sure. I was rather attached to it. Anyways, I go all over campus here at Osu with it and it has contributed to a healthier lifestyle for me, and affording a new one is really out of the question unless I find another rust bucket. I'm willing to pay 10-15 dollars if you are hesitant to part with one, I just really want to find another as soon as possible.

Title pretty much sums it up. Erie, PA here. 6'3" so a large bike is necessary.

Thank you

Hi all! I'm a former cycling enthusiast & a founding member of the biggest social cycling group in my city. I am also a single mom with two beautiful little humans, both of whom love to pedal; however, my youngest child is afflicted with a rare terminal genetic disease that affects everything but especially her little muscles so she cannot ride independently.

When she was younger, I would strap her into a weeride or my trailer on my old Trek 800, but that bike was stolen. Since then, stress/depression from having a special needs little one + medical bills + no biking have seen me gain too much weight and I really really miss cycling.

All I have now is a beloved, vintage motobecane. The rear axle is not sufficient to attach my trailer and my girl is 7 now, so I cannot use a seat.

If you guys could help me find something affordable to haul my kiddo behind or even something specifically for disabilities, I'd appreciate it. My oldest got a new hybrid for his birthday and I would happy cry if we could all get out on our bikes together again.

I can provide a link to a recent local news segment on my little one to verify.

This offer was made at /r/RandomActsOfChristmas to help two teens get out of the house and start to explore the world on a bike this year as a holiday gift!

Here is the link to the post: http://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/comments/1qr1kd/offer_you_choose_the_bike_for_ages_1217_only/

I am posting this here in hopes some active bikers may know a child who could really use some wheels? When I was a teen, a bike is what give me my freedom and some redditors and I are giving 2 out to keep the kindness rolling ;)

Respond on the thread linked above, read the sidebar, etc!

Thanks and Happy Holidays riders :)

PM me and I could meet you somewhere. He's a good guy, and just needs a little help. I don't have much to trade in return, as most of my money is tied up right now, but I fancy myself an artist and could easily do a request. you can check my profile to see some of my work. Hope we can work something out.

Edit: Anyone within a couple hours away is fine. It doesn't matter what kind of bike. any bike will do.I know from experience how much help a bike can be getting around.

I can't let this go on or my kids will have no Dad. I used to mountain bike all the time (years ago-20+).

I volunteer as a high school band staff member, and since I lost my job, it gets hard for me to afford to get back and forth. Any help?

I'm going to be a senior at Northwestern. My freshman year I had a bicycle which was stolen over Thanksgiving break from the bike racks outside my dorm, which is located next to the police station (ironic, right?). Sadly, even though I had a bike registration the police were unable to recover it. During my sophomore year, for Christmas, my parents bought me a folding bike for $400 so I could take it around with me and I bought a real heavy duty bike lock. This summer I am staying in Chicago and I lent it over this weekend to one of my friends while I went home to see my parents. My friend locked it up to a lightpole but some high schoolers, it seems removed the back wheel and sit and slid the frame of the bike out of the lock (my friend isn't very good at locking bikes, it seems). Again, police had no dice in recovering it. I have just one more year of college and I need a bike to get around. I don't want to ask my parents to buy me a new one and I can't really afford one, being a poor college student. It would mean a lot to me if someone could even just loan me one for a year. I could give it back or give it to a worthy student once I graduate.

TL;DR: My second bike in 3 years got stolen. I need one just for my senior year in college.

Hey I have only rode a bike 4 or 5 times in my life and i would love to have one and ride it everywhere. if anyone has a bike they don't want I would love to take it off their hands. I don't know a lot about bikes but i guess you need to know my height and weight for it i'm 6' 179 bl. If anyone has one i'd love to know. thank you so much for this subreddit

Request- bicycle for my Dad, he is going through depression and needs something to help support his health. Has medical conditions that has him disabled, had half a lung removed, most recently was ran off the freeway in OC while riding his Harely. Since then he sold his bike and has been sad. I'd like to give him a bicycle to help him recover and recapture the feeling of joy he once had riding his motor cycle. Unfortunately I'm a broke college student and can't afford one for him, so I'm asking if anyone has an extra bike or old one they don't use would be so kind to put a smile on my dads face again. Thank you.

After initially being overcharged $50 for my bike, it gradually gave me a few problems. I fixed each one, each time letting it mature into a stronger bicycle. Yesterday, I had the bottom bracket replaced which cost $40. I was thrilled with how nicely it now rode and was excited for how much better it was getting. No more than 5 hours later was it stolen outside a train station at 16th and Locust in Philadelphia, PA.

I just got a second job with great learning potential, but it's a 50 minute walk away (I know, because I had to walk it today). I use my bike for everything from grocery shopping, going to the gym, getting to work, interstate travel with trains and buses... I don't have much money, in fact very little, so this is a big hit at a bad time.

If someone could spare their dusty bicycle for a hardworking young man, please do and I'll be forever thankful!

It's a women's bicycle - pink - the tires are flat from sitting in my garage for years and the seat needs to be put back on. (The person who took the other bike said it would be easy ) Other than that it's in good shape and hey, the price is right (free). PM me if you're interested.

Florence, KY I've got an old ten speed or two that haven't been ridden in a while. if you pay repair costs you can have them. that basically means innertubes and maybe a chain. if you want you can give me the parts. I'll even paint them if you really want! PM for info. Free labor, I just can't afford the parts to fix them myself.

So, i got an internship in the city, but I realized... I live 25 blocks away. I don't have a car and taking the Septa/public transit would be too costly. I hope someone in the city has a bike they don't need.

Hey guys, ive recently got into mountain biking and lost 36 pounds. Upon hearing my little story, they were pushed over the edge and realllly want to get on a bike. Road or mountain doesnt matter, theyre highly motivated. Problem is, one was fired from his job because he was framed by another employee, the other pays $300 a week in medical bills. All three of us are in the CT Army National Guard.

Also, this is meant to be a surprise, if you could help out I would be infinitely grateful. Thank you for looking
