trying out new bikes

You can search for the particular make/model/year and it will give you the value of the bike depending on the condition it is in. Great for both selling and buying (I used the information to negotiate a great price on the bike I just bought from somebody on Craigslist). As far as finding used small bikes, you may be surprised by what shows up on CL etc. so I'd recommend checking every day or two once you have some ideas of bikes you'd like. That's what I did and something great turned up quite quickly, for a good price too.
