I guess I just don't trust Facebook as much as ebay or Craigslist. Recently, I started using Facebook a lot and your post makes me think about giving the marketplace app a try. Thanks!

Check the brakes, the wheels, the tires, the cables... all of it! If someone's selling their bike, there's a reason. You want a bike that's being sold because the owner has no time for it, not a bike that's beyond repair in some way! Make sure you have someone with you who knows bikes!

With the gas prices increasing, I don't think I can afford to drive anyway! Biking is my main mode of transportation in the summer/spring/fall.

Not as dependable as craigslist or ebay, but when something comes through, it's usually good (and convenient). Oh, and I second the Facebook marketplace.

It's a bit of a lifestyle change to ride the bike, however it's a lot more cost effective. My lease ran out on my car, and I said that I'm not getting another car until I lose 85 lbs. I've been bicycling since March 1st and am getting into pretty good shape. Riding a bike is not as convenient as driving a car, however, I'm saving lots of money, and losing my 85 lbs!!
