I've been there, done that. In the last month of college, I rode an old Montgomery Ward 10 speed that the frame was literally held together with turnbuckles and baling wire. It lasted till 3 days after graduation.

My advice is to tell your friends, tell your church, tell your relatives, tell your parents and their co-workers that you need a bike. Somebody out there has a decent bike sitting in a garage that they wouldn't mind giving to you. You gotta believe! Two of my favorite bikes have been gifts like this. An old dutch 10 speed, and my current main bike, a 15 year old Specialized Hard Rock that collected dust for over a decade before I got it. Your bike is out there. Make some noise and get yours.
