You can also leave them at Budget Bike, which uses them (as far as I know) for the Red Bikes project.
We have a lot of students in our neighborhood, so we see a lot of abandoned bikes, in various states of repair, when our neighbors' leases expire. My wife has developed a hobby of gathering up these bikes and walking most of them over to a shed behind Budget Bike's clothing store, on Regent Street. We also find a lot of bike fragments, which are good for parts or for welding projects, and we drop these off outside Freewheel, on S. Park St. These options are pretty convenient for us. But Wheels for Winners is a worthy cause, too.
