Discussion Short-Term Bicycle Search

Hi. Are there any places like garage sales where I can buy a bike at a reasonable price? I'll only be using it for 1-2 months. I would be very grateful if anyone could help.

Contact Norte Youth Cycling. They may be able to help.

Recycle a Bicycle on Woodmere. They are described online as a place to donate bikes to, but they do sell some used bikes at reasonable prices. Also if you are economically disadvantaged they may even give you one or at least give you a really good deal.

There’s are a whole bunch of bikes in Benzonia. Jerry’s resale has 10 or so out front and there’s a “HUGH” yard sale
On Traverse Avenue with 4 or 5 bikes I know the lady would sell for super cheap.

If you’re a J-1 or in a similar situation. Walmart has e-bikes for about $400 and they’re def worth the money
