Ginger, a fellow 40-something female who (like me) was eager to start biking again after many years away from the sport, recently emailed me:
I am really, really interested in buying a new (used) bike and getting into biking. I think it would be a great activity for me and my daughter to do together, as well as much needed, non-weight bearing exercise for me. All of that said, can you recommend some good places to seek out a decent used bike? I’m a single mom who doesn’t have a large budget.
Following is the information I shared with Ginger (…who, by the way, found a cheap bike really quickly and has been biking regularly ever since).
Hopefully, this will help others who are considering getting back into cycling as well.
Cheap bikes are relatively easy to find — if you know where to look!
