Trips for Kids Charlotte Bicycle Recyclery

TFK Kickoff

2009-03-06T13:42:00.000-08:00

Trek 3700 Mountain Bike

2008-11-17T17:49:00.000-08:00

You'll be ready to take to the trails with this lime-green hill climber. Rapid fire thumb shifters and a bump-soaking suspension fork complete this little number. $240 (suggested minimum donation)

Takara w/fenders

2008-11-17T17:40:00.000-08:00

This is the female version of the "logical bike" from the previous post. A lady could wear a skirt and ride this bike thanks to the descending top tube and helped even further by the mud and rain catching fenders. $180 (suggested minimum donation)

Giant Boulder 500

2008-11-17T17:26:00.000-08:00

This is such a logical bike. It is a single speed (not fixed gear) that employs an old school coaster brake. It has a brand new wheel set and is ready to go to work. Lacking nearly all of the parts that require constant tuning this is a no muss, no fuss winner. $120 (suggested minimum donation)

Centurion Expert Ironman - Dave Scott Ed.

2008-11-17T17:18:00.000-08:00

I cannot say why this bike makes me so happy but it does. It comes with a working computer, TT/Tri bars, clipless pedals and one sweet paint scheme. $240 (suggested minimum donation)

Paris Sport

2008-11-17T17:02:00.000-08:00

Nice.

This ride has a sweet saddle and is roughly a 56cm. $340 (suggested minimum donation)

Hello Trips-For-Kids-Charlotte-Web-Browsers,

The Trips for Kids Recyclery is going to give you a peep-hole into our inventory via this blog. Your best bet however is to come in to the Recyclery on any given Saturday between 10am and 4pm. Right now we have roughly 130 bikes on hand that are ready to go, so please don't look at the few bikes that will be thrown up here and think that it's an accurate depiction of what we have in stock. With the number of bikes we have and a price range that goes from $60 to $650, we probably have a bike that would be perfect for you.

Complete bikes are only part of what awaits your biking needs at TFK's.
Parts, parts and more parts; fill bins and wait like a floppy-eared puppy at a kennel for a chance to make your life and your bike a little more complete.

Brake Levers!

Front Derailleurs!

Rear Derailleurs!

Forks!

There are thousands upon thousands of parts that await you. These pics are a small sample to stimulate your desire to solve your parts issues with a trip to Trips for Kids.

Also, we have a solid selection of ride-wear and every garment is only $20.

Thank you.

Takara Custom 12

2007-05-17T13:10:00.000-07:00

Vintage Steel bike. Great for riding on the road & looks cool too. Refurbished and tuned up. $120.

"Earn A Bike / Re-Cyclery"

Located at 15th and North Davidson, the program works with kids to develop their bike maintenance and repair skills, and after completing a 6 session program, the kids EARN the right to own the restored bike of their choosing.

Excess repaired bikes will then be re-sold to the general public with the proceeds revolving back into the re-cyclery program to cover the costs of needed bike parts and equipment.
