When a dockless bike is no longer owned by a dockless bike company, it turns out …. well, it’s just a regular bike. And if you’re in the market for a regular bike—and don’t mind that it happens to be painted Big Bird yellow and labeled with the Ofo logo—here’s your chance.

Vélocity Bicycle Cooperative is selling 172 brand-new rides that were once destined to be part of the D.C.-area dockless bike fleet.

Ofo announced last month that it is withdrawing from the D.C. market last month as the Chinese company dramatically scales back its operations (Ofo said in a conference call that it is “going into sleep mode” in North America).

It was one of the earliest and best-funded dockless bike companies, expanding aggressively around the world. But as Ofo and other companies flooded the market, pictures of dramatic dockless bike graveyards started surfacing in China and some U.S. cities.

It seems the company is trying to avoid more such incidents.

“As we wind down select markets, we remain committed to environmental sustainability and will continue to donate ofo bikes in good working condition to local communities and recycle all bikes when they’re beyond repair or no longer able to use,” said Taylor Bennett, Ofo’s head of communications for North America, in an email. He added that some bikes would also be moved to cities where the company is still operating.

For Vélocity, a non-profit based in Alexandria, selling off the unused bikes at the relatively low cost of $100 aligns directly with their goals as organization.

“These bikes are really good entry level bikes for people, which is knd of what our mission is—getting more people on bikes,” says Joe Davison, the board chairman and programs committee chairman. Vélocity describes itself as “a non-profit, volunteer-run, educational do-it-yourself workshop offering training, rides, and events to empower all levels of cyclists in building, maintaining, and embracing the fun of bicycles.”

The sale will take place on August 25 outside their warehouse in Alexandria.

The group is removing the bikes’ locks (“They’re unlocked but we didn’t want people to think ‘oh I can just take this bike,'” Davison says), but they are otherwise exactly as you’d find them: with lights that automatically turn on, a front basket, fenders, built-in brakes, and airless tires.

“It’s not like you’re buying a $60 bike from Walmart,” Davison says, emphasizing their durability. “They are meant to be outside and trashed.”

In addition to Vélocity, hundreds more new and “slightly used” bikes have been donated to Reston Bike Club, World Vision, and some smaller organizations, according to Bennett. Ofo is also “actively working” to donate bikes to other organizations, he said.

The company is hardly alone in leaving D.C.

Mobike ended its District run in July, and Spin announced on Friday that it is switching its entire fleet to e-scooters, a move that Lime made earlier this year (though the company said it would still keep a few dockless bikes on the road).

Of the original slate of dockless bike companies then, that just leaves Jump, the e-bike company acquired by Uber earlier this year. E-scooter companies Bird and Skip are still in the mix, too.

The District Department of Transportation launched the dockless pilot program—which limits each company to 400 bikes or scooters—last September. It was slated to run through April, but it has been extended through the end of August. The agency has not released information about what happens next.

Vélocity Bicycle Cooperative will offer the Ofo bikes for $100 at their warehouse (behind 1502 Mt Vernon Ave Alexandria, VA 22301 ) on August 25 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
