I have my parents' "matched his&hers" Centurion racing bikes that I feel would be a shame to just throw in a dumpster, but I've no idea how to find people who would appreciate them.

So my primary question here is: d'you think these are at all worth keeping? I'm not interested in cash, merely avoiding waste.

Secondary, how do I find a community? Is this it?

They're Centurion bikes, with a sticker near the crank saying "Infinity cr-mo double tapered butted tubing". Silly me took the pic from the wrong side, sorry - Front and rear derailleurs are stamped "Suntour Cyclone 7000", it's a 2*6 arrangement. The levers are on the frame and go clicky-click when shifting.

That's the thing, I don't. 🙃 But I don't ride mine any more, and my mum really should stop (she's 85). 😅

    and my mum really should stop (she's 85).

    Why, did a doctor say so?

    No no, she still plays golf and stuff. But she can be rather reckless out in traffic. She has another bicycle anyway, this is no longer her daily driver. I know, I sound like a concerned parent; she admits it herself and has taken a few tumbles in the past few years - and tumbles from bikes are better when you're 8 or 18, not 85.
