getting a bike - finding the time

Can't afford a new bike? Join freecycle.org & sign up - plenty of bikes are being given away - post a wanted ad if need be. Or inquire about tradeins at your local bikeshop - I got my 10 speed for $50 this way. Or your local thrift - Goodwill here had a couple of bikes for $10 each. Or Craigslist.

No time - make it part of your daily routine. Hit the yardsales on your bike - this stops you from buying too much, too :-). Bike to work if you can. I average 200-250 miles a week - and I don't have to watch what I eat! I have a ride along trailer so I can bike & see my 7 year old son!
