Both Craigslist and FB marketplace have a lot of nice hybrid bikes for sale.. Im always tempted to buy 1 almost every week. In my area someone is selling a 2016 Giant roam3 just for $250. Saw the bike and the chainrings and tire thread from the look of it, it only ridden less a hundred miles.

If you're under budget and concern of theft just buy a used one. Buying a $800 hybrid bike is a bad idea.
