Free bicycles New South Wales: check before the first ride
A bike is one of the most commonly listed items in the New South Wales vehicles category, for a simple reason — a kid outgrows the frame, an adult upgrades to a newer model, or the bike just sat in a garage for years untouched. Check the brakes and the chain before riding; those are the first things to lose function after long storage without use.
Tires on a bike that's been sitting idle often dry-rot even without any punctures, so inflating and inspecting the rubber is a required step before you actually ride it.
Go by the rider's height rather than age alone when picking a frame size, especially for a child's bike, since sizing charts in Australia tend to run narrower than people expect.
Folding bikes are worth testing the folding mechanism on specifically, separate from the rest of the frame, since that's the part most likely to have loosened over time from repeated use.
