Andrew Mitchell's bike will raise money for AIDS charity Nyumbani UK
The bike of former chief whip Andrew Mitchell, which was at the centre of the "plebgate" row, is now for sale on eBay.
Mr Mitchell was riding the seven-year-old bike when police officers refused to let him leave Downing Street via the main gate last September. It was claimed at the time that Mr Mitchell swore at the officers and called them "plebs".
Mr Mitchell denies the allegation and was forced to resign after a series of damaging headlines. He has now put his "hard-working" Reflux Westminster for sale on eBay, wishing to give it a "good home out of the limelight".
All the proceeds from the sale will go to the charity Nyumbani UK, which helps HIV and AIDS affected children in Kenya.
The 18 speed bike with a basket has so far received 18 bids totalling more than £2000.

Scotland Yard is investigating how the Sun and the Daily Telegraph got hold of information about “Plebgate” and whether there was a leak from police.
Andrew Mitchell’s claims that police lied in the log of the event and a police officer's claim to have witnessed the altercation are also being looked into by Scotland Yard.
Three officers have so far been arrested as part of the investigation.
Papers related to the case were passed to prosecutors on Thursday.
A number of newspapers have reported that the file does not contain evidence that officers lied about an altercation with Mitchell in Downing Street.
Mitchell tells IPCC: ‘Deeply dismayed’ at Met Police
Andrew Mitchell, who has made a former complaint against Scotland Yard over the alleged leaking of its “Plebgate” report, has strongly criticised the Met’s handling of the situation.
In a letter to IPCC deputy chairman Deborah Glass, he wrote:
We are deeply dismayed that the Metropolitan Police appear to have leaked part of their Report prepared for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to certain members of the Press and spun it to the advantage of the Police officers involved.
This was an Enquiry into a dishonest and illicit attempt to blacken my name and destroy my career. It would appear that this police enquiry continues precisely that process.

Andrew Mitchell, the former Cabinet Minister, has made a formal complaint against Scotland Yard over the alleged leaking of its report into the “Plebgate” affair.
Mitchell made the move after Friday’s newspapers suggested a police file handed to the Crown Prosecution Service contained no proof that police officers lied about the incident.
The Tory MP has written to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) accusing the Metropolitan Police of a continued campaign to "destroy" his career.
Police to hand 'plebgate' case to CPS by end of month
Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told MPs at the Home Affairs Select Committee that the police officer arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into the "plebgate" row would answer bail on January 31, whilst his relative would answer bail on January 16.
He said a case would be handed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) by the end of the month, and that the inquiry set out to investigate the "circumstances surrounding the police officer's claims to witnessing the incident on Downing Street" and establish if there was evidence of "conspiracy".
We expect we may be able to share a report with the CPS by the end of this month. A matter of weeks before we do as much as we can."

Boris: 'Common-sensical' for Mitchell to be threatened with arrest
Speaking at the opening of a library at South Ruislip in north west London, Mr Johnson said people could not swear at police and expect to get away with it.
If I read the papers correctly there was a proposal to arrest Mr Mitchell for what he said. That seems to be wholly common-sensical.
The public order act does allow for police officers' discretion in this matter. They've obviously decided not to go ahead with it.
Boris: 'Crucial thing is Mitchell has now apologised'
by Simon Harris, Political Correspondent
London Mayor Boris Johnson on the Andrew Mitchell row:
"In my book you shouldn't abuse police officers and I made that clear loads of times. The crucial thing for me is that Andrew Mitchell has now apologised not just once but twice publically. I believe he's also apologised to the officer concerned."
