Welcome To Tackle 4 Kids and Colorado Bike Exchange

Donate a Bicycle or Bike Parts to Tackle 4 Kids

You can drop off bike donations at anytime in Craig, Colorado

Please email us photos and details on what you'd like to donate and if we have a need ( we likely will ) we'll set up a drop-off appointment.

So many people in the Yampa Valley ask us, "Where can I donate a bike near me?"

We will gladly accept most bikes and refurbish them to benefit those in need of transportation

 

We refurbish donated bikes to ride like new and then provide them to those in need of transportation and independence.

We are happy to accept your donation of complete bicycles, bicycle parts, or bicycle accessories.  Tackle 4 Kids is a Section 501c(3) non-profit organization, so your donation is tax-deductable to the extent permitted by law.

Please email us a photo of what you'd like to donate and we'll give you details of drop-off times and procedures.

Debating on whether you should fix up that old bike?  Often your tax-deductable bike donation makes more financial sense then spending hundreds on repair work and parts.  When you drop your donation, you could also consider buying one of our nice, ready to ride refurbished bikes!  Most bikes get refurbished and are then donated to our partner charities.  Some bikes are sold to fund our repair parts, operations, purchase of fishing equipment, or funds to other charitable organizations.

Donation Guidelines

We accept bikes of all types and sizes, from tricycles up to full-sized bicycles for adults.  Flat tires and broken or missing parts are no problem, as we have an extensive parts inventory.  Our volunteer mechanics can fix almost anything: however, we don't restore paint and we can't reverse corrosion.  We accept department store kid's bikes, but most budget adult bikes from department are problematic because replacement parts are hard to find.

Before donating your bike, ask yourself:

If the answers are all "YES" then we will gladly receive the bike.  Please clean up your bike before donating it so we can focus on repairs.  We Also accept financial donations.

 

We refurbish each donated bike to ride like new. We donate several bikes a year to those in need through partner non- profits in the local community. 

Each bicycle takes about $40 and several volunteer hours to repair and distribute.  A monetary donation to cover these costs is super appreciated and will the cycle going. 

While the vast majority of our bikes are donated to those in need of transportation, racing bikes, vintage bikes or mountain bikes are gladly accepted and could help us fund our refurbishing or many additional bikes for our partner non-profits.

We do NOT accept used helmets or cycling shorts.

Donations

Donations are always appreciated and always needed.

To fund the many great programs that are offered in their local communities we ask for your support with donations.

Every donation no matter how big or how small will always have an important part of this great program!

Need a cheap commuter bike? An affordable used bike to get to school? A bike to ride on the trails with the kids?  The T4K Colorado Bicycle Exchange likely has a bike that will meet your needs. 

We sell a portion of our inventory to cover operating expenses which include parts, tools, rent, and insurance (the Bicycle Exchange has just one paid staff member).

Each bike sold can cover the expenses of refurbishing 4 to 20 bikes that we donate to those in need.  

We sell a few of our bicycles to help fund our refurbishing work of the hundreds of bikes we donate.

Prices are very reasonable, especially considering they have already been completely refurbished by our experienced mechanics and ride like new (most private party used bike sales require quite a lot of work). When you are buying a refurbished used bike from T4K Colorado Bike Exchange, we can make some adjustments related to fit on the spot, and you can purchase any accessories we have in stock. Bicycles for sale are on a first-come-first-served basis.
