A charity bike sale at St Mary's Church in Barnes — SW13 9HL — is taking place tomorrow, Saturday 12 September, from 9.30am until noon, and with 200 bikes expected on the day it looks like one of the better local opportunities to pick up a bargain two-wheeler before the autumn sets in.
The selection will include a good number of children's bikes alongside adult models, and organisers are advising people to arrive early if they want the widest choice. The event is being run on a charity basis, so every purchase supports a good cause as well as keeping a bike in use rather than landfill.
St Mary's Church sits on Church Road right beside the Thames, making it an easy destination whether you're walking from the Terrace or cycling over from Castelnau. There's no admission charge — you simply turn up, browse, and pay for whichever bike catches your eye.
With school runs, riverside rides and the Barnes wetlands all on the doorstep, a second-hand bike bought locally tends to get plenty of use. If you've been meaning to get the children (or yourself) back on two wheels, this is a timely chance to do it without paying new prices. More details on the Richmond Council news page.
