The transfer station (ie. junk pile) is a good place. Don't pass up a busted bike. Take the good parts and save them. In a couple of weeks you'll have all the parts you need to build up a nice bike. Seriously. Frame here, brakes there, wheels from a third...got the idea. Of course it's not exactly free. The last bike I built for my sister in law cost 5 bucks for a new chain.
