Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Help me find a good craiglist bike! $10 finder fee

Hi all,

I'm ready to buy a bike for some fun outdoor cardio. My budget is not that high so I need to go used, but don't know a good deal from a bad one. Price range is $150, if there is a really good deal I may stretch a little but not much.

I am a 6'2" male (188 cm) and weigh 163 lbs.

I will be road riding so a road bike or cruiser is ideal.

I would like something with at least 3 speeds and relatively low maintenance.


I live in Long beach, california.

Link to long beach craiglist:

Ebay distance search for bicycles. In case of an error settings are within 10 miles of zip code 90813:

$10 finder's fee paid by check or paypal, thanks!

Basically just look at listings with the price range you want, and if the bike looks good to you, post it here and someone can check on that.

Usually all the bikes are pretty good for the money, if something's a terrible deal you can see it.

You're probably a 59 or 60.

Here's one:

These might be a little big (but might work):

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/bik/738383794.html

This one seems a little small (but otherwise give you an idea):

You might consider a hybrid (but they don't list the size):
