I got last year's giant OCR2 at bayridgebikes for $600. Another user here, Nam got last year's OCR3 for I think 450. Bay ridge bikes is on 89th and 3rd avenue.
I can't ride on the belt parkway. Is there a way to get to the driving range by bike?
Feel free to drop by bay ridge bikes, I've recommended it to quite a few people. They're real friendly, will let you take a brand new bike outside for a test ride around the block, no questions asked.
