How do you offset large purchases?

Right now I'm a broke college student/full time cook and I'm looking to get a new bike. Something that is sturdier for the daily commutes I'm doing. Aside from spending the time to save up paycheck to paycheck I am looking into ways to acquire money in alternative means. In bike related ways if possible, and in the hopes of learning new things.

In another thread they talked about flipping bikes for extra money, and one person said he even gave motorcycle lessons to offset the large purchase of the oh-so wonderful bike.

Essentially, doing something proactive to start paying off the bike.

Are there things within the bike world my fairly limited knowledge could do to scrape some extra cash? Learning is what this is all about, so I'm not afraid of a challenge. Oh, and I may just put up a lemonade stand unless you got a better idea
