Continuing the tradition established by Friends of Pepperell Recreation, The Fitzpatrick Collaborative began hosting the community used bike sale in 2021. Currently, The Fitzpatrick Collaborative uses this fundraiser to directly support the Big Backyard Playground and Recreation-related activities in Pepperell.
We greatly appreciate the community’s support through their donations of gently- used bikes, trikes, scooters, and ride-ons. Our sales have averaged about 250 bikes each year and countless smiles.
The pay-it-forward objective of the sale ensures bikes are kept local and that area families can purchase a gently-used bike for their children, grandchildren, or for themselves, at an affordable price. Unsold bikes are offered to The Bike Connector Lowell MA – keeping them out of the landfill and creating additional opportunities for those wanting a bike. Any bikes which are beyond repair are offered to local scrap metal dealers for recycling.
The 2025 Community Bike Sale will be held in May 2025. We often hold this event on the same day as Pepperell’s Town-Wide Yard Sale.
Bike Donations: Drop-offs for bicycle donations will re-open at The Fitz in the early Spring of 2025.
We accept gently-used bike.. Bikes must be ride-able and have all their parts. We are only able to make minor repairs such as inflating tires. If the brakes don’t work or the wheel is bent, we cannot accept the bike. Please remember, these bicycles are being offered as-is to other families!
