Had to crush a road bike last night
Discussion
I work in the distribution warehouse of a large sports store, last night we had a road bike returned from a store, they had cross threaded a peddle and ruined the threads.
Instead of selling it as a second, or even repairing it, they made me crush it in the compactor, I really hated do it.
They do this several times a week, and I hate it every time, normally they are more broken or have parts missing than that, but these bikes could be repaired and used.
Is there a charity or something that may be interested in them, as I could pass on the details to my manager

tloads of old but operational bikes, then find some deserving community in some far flung corner of the world, load up a few transits and take the bikes out there?
