THIS FORM NEEDS TO ACCOMPANY EVERY BIKE DONATED TO THE BICYCLE PROJECT

ALL THOSE DONATING A BIKE, NEED TO FILL THIS FORM

We're happy to report - the project is going places! And if you would like to be a part of this movement, we'd be glad to accept your contribution. Please remember though, that you would need to download, print and fill out this form for every bike that you donate.

This ensures three things:
1. That the bikes can never be used for anything illegal or untoward by anyone
2. It helps us to keep our accounts transparent
3. It allows us to maintain our records

If you are sharing the news about this simple but beautiful initiative with your friends, do remind them to keep the form filled out and ready for us when we come to pick up the bike. It saves your time and ours.

If you plan to drop off the bikes at a collection centre, please also submit the filled out form - there's one in English and one in Marathi.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

COLLECTION CENTRES FOR OLD BICYCLES

We have received many responses in Mumbai as well as from the capital with offers of old bicycles for donation to the project and we're happy to say - we now have 5 places you can drop them!


Friends of the project have been kind enough to offer their spaces as Collection Centres where folks can come and drop the bikes at the centre closest to them.


So spread the word to all your Mumbai and Delhi friends and ask them to get in touch now!
