Hey... just as an aside, I just found out that the Salvation Army here in Denver has a bicycle auction every weekday morning, where you can get bikes and groups of bikes for as low as $5.... I'm gonna go check it out.
Maybe they have something like that in your area.
I figure they must get a TON of bikes to do this 5 times a week... there's got to be some good ones in there!
