Andrew_Smith Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Where can I donate used cycling clothes in the Western Cape, more specific the Durbanville area? I have three bibs, jerseys, two set of arm warmers, gloves and two pairs of socks that I don't use anymore. Sadly two of the bibs have a tear in the upper leg area due to crashing. The one is basically brand new, so I don't want to throw them away, maybe someone can use them. Could someone perhaps point me in the right direction?

Perhaps just phone beforehand to check because the last time I did that was about 2 years ago. https://www.pedalpower.org.za/contact-us/
