Free in Edinburgh - cardboard bike box

[MajorMantra]

My new Ribble came in a truly massive box. If no one wants it I'll cut it up and recycle it but I thought it might be of use to someone wanting to post a bike.

It's large enough to fit an adult bike with the wheels still attached and the handlebars rotated.

If you want it, you have to come and pick it up. I live in south Newington near Cameron Toll shopping centre.

My kids have past that stage but I used to love large cardboard boxes for entertainment value. A box would usually last about 2 weeks before falling to pieces.

...and so on. I'm not sure how fun a bike box would be though, it's kind of narrow. I suppose it would make a nice wall for a fort.

Cut it up, draw on it, they could create a shelter between two chairs etc, crawl through as part of an course - just leave it to the kids imagination - I'm sure they would think of something.

Yep. Unfortunately my social circle doesn't include anyone of the appropriate age.

I've put it on Freecycle too. Hopefully someone can use it...

Come on, surely someone can use this? Otherwise the breadknife beckons which seems a bit of a waste.

Save it and stick it up the loft. If your ever moving house you can reform it into a box for moving stuff

I would have took it but mine are holding up just nicely

I live in a flat so space is at something of a premium. I'm away from Edinburgh for a few days but when I get back the box is headed for the bin - unless someone steps in to rescue it very soon.
