Recycle 'N Ride: Donate and Buy Pre-loved Biking Gear to Support the Fort William Bike Park

Do you love biking? Do you want to support the Fort William Bike Park? Do you have any biking kit that you no longer use, but still has some life left in it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Recycle and Ride is for you!
 

Recycle ‘N Ride is a new initiative by Off Beat Bikes. We aim to promote waste reduction, encourage new riders, and support thriving local biking scene by selling donated biking gear at a fair price. All proceeds go directly to the Fort William Bike Park fund, a project that aims to create a world-class mountain biking facility in the heart of the Highlands.

"As a charity community group, we aim to construct and run a world-class Bike Park which will incorporate a Pump Track, BMX/Skate Park and a Pushbike Trials facility for tutoring and teaching in the Fort William area. Our goal is to promote recreational wheeled sports where we inspire the local community by providing accessible, inclusive and inspiring facilities that enable and encourage people to engage in wheeled sports in all its forms regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or ability."

How Recycle ‘N Ride Works

It’s simple: bring your unwanted biking kit to Off Beat Bikes at 117 High Street, Fort William, and leave it with a member of our team. We will sort, clean, and price your items, and display them in our Recycle ‘N Ride section. You can also browse our selection of pre-loved biking gear and find some great bargains for yourself or your friends.

We then donate the profits to the Fort William Bike Park to help keep it open and running. 

*Please note that we only accept new or gently worn items that are clean and functional. We do not accept damaged garments, undergarments, or non-cycling kit/brands. For more details on what we accept and what we don’t, please see below.
