Cycling enthusiasts, bargain hunters, and community supporters are invited to the annual Barnes Charity Bike Sale.

This year it istaking place on Saturday 13 September from 9:30am to 12:00pm at St Mary’s Church, Barnes (SW13 9HL). The event, now a staple of the local calendar, offers a wide selection of pre-loved adult and children’s bikes at affordable prices, with all proceeds going to support local charities.

Organised by volunteers from St Mary’s Barnes, the sale has raised over £100,000 since its launch in 2006 and helped repair and rehome more than 1,700 bikes. This year’s sale promises another strong turnout, with bikes available for purchase following safety checks and basic servicing. Donated bikes are accepted on a gift or commission basis, with drop-off sessions continuing on Saturday 23 August and Saturday 30 August, both from 10am to 12 noon, and a final evening slot on Thursday 4 September from 5pm to 7pm.

Organisers ask anyone donating or selling a bike to complete an online form in advance and ensure bikes are clean and in rideable condition. All bikes are sold as seen, and volunteers will be on hand to assist buyers and answer questions.

The event is known for its friendly atmosphere and community spirit. Bikes will be showcased in advance on the sale’s Instagram and Facebook pages, giving prospective buyers a preview of what’s available. Whether you're looking for a child’s first bike, a commuter upgrade, or simply want to support a good cause, the Barnes Charity Bike Sale offers a sustainable and socially impactful way to get rolling.
