Garage sale? Craig's list? My sister's first bike (at the age of 60) came out of a dumpster and her husband's from a garage sale. They became hooked and learned enough to shop for their next bikes.
Two of their friends went out and paid $600 a piece for new bikes, and they sit unused in the garage.
I had a hybrid and was considering switching to a road bike. I didn't know if it would bother my lower back--so we bought a women's street bike off of Craig's List for $20. I was hooked and I was able to go the bike shop and buy with confidence.
