I suggest you put up a WTB ad on craigslist. Explaining what your looking for and your size. What you want to do and so forth. Let the offers come to you. Also explain your bike situation as well. You may end up with a free or almost free bike. Posting it will cost nothing and what do you have to loose trying this method?
Also......... Make it clear that your looking for something under $100 and see......... Your car free situation.
I've done this two different times and ended up with bikes that worked and also within my budget. The bikes also had never been listed on Craigslist.
