What's that adage about a fool and his money? Hopefully they get a lock so the fool & his bike dont also get separated...

12 bucks in vancouver will get you a coffee and not much more this is one of the most expensive places in north america. So I don't see deals like that around here.
But still say he spends 50 on an old bike its still gonna needs all new bearings tires tubes spoke adjustment pedals grips probably a seat new chain brake pads maybe cables. Shop labor if the wheels are fine but need adjustment.
For that it makes way more sense to get a new bike.
