Use for old bikes/parts

I seem to remember a post about this but can't find it...

Do folks know of anyone/organisation that would make use of old bikes/parts

My friend just spotted the bones ('scuse the pun) of at least 4 bikes dumped behind her house.

They don't look freshly stolen or anything, nothing in perfect condition to say the least - but a few useable frames anyway for maybe bike workshops or the like.

OK the NUI, Galway Eco soc have a project to recycle old bikes and have workshop space.

The mens club on Sandy Road are running bike repair workshops next up is the 12th of May at 11am.

(I tried googling "mens club galway" for a website but my editorial capacities were overwhelmed )

Great stuff. My friend knows someone I think in the mans club, so I'll do a bit of research on it
