Used Bikes are a Way to Save Money and Have Fun<\/h2>\n

Buying a used bike is one of the cheapest ways in the world to save money and have fun<\/strong>. For between $100 and $250 you can find a decent used bike that should not require much fixing; and for $250 to $500 you could find a really great used bike that would cost you well upwards of $1,000 new. I have bought many bikes on Craigslist, and loved all of them.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Where Can You Buy Used Bikes Online?<\/h2>\n

There are many good options for buying used bikes online, depending on where you live. Craigslist, Kijiji, Gumtree, road cc, local cycling forums and eBay with a distance filter are all good places to look for your bike. Many areas have cyclist groups on Facebook. You may even be able to find swap meet groups where you can look for cheap bikes.<\/p>\n

Personally I always use Craigslist, because I travel a lot, and there are Craigslist sites for most big cities. Whether you use Craigslist, eBay, LesPAC or any other online market place is mainly up to your personal preference \u2013 they are many good places to look. Personally I always use Craiglist for used bikes, and Kijiji for puppies!<\/p>\n
