I was going to say that, but out of the 6 bikes in the garage none of them are under $100 even second hand.
In fact I would advise against getting a cheap shitty bike that isn't going to last. Spend the extra money, get something good. It's better for the environment and your wallet in the long run.
Yeah I was going to say this too. I got a cheap Walmart bike and it was still $300.
Here in Germany you can get a second hand bike for free. In the UK I used to be able to get one for about 50ยฃ...My current one is quite fancy, and I got it for 180โฌ, so I don't think it's impossible to find it cheap and good.
That's great! I wish it were like that here in the U.S. Bike culture is trampled by car culture here.
