  Local used bike shop suggestions Looking for a great local used bike shop! While google provides some results, they lack pricing details of stock – would like to avoid too much ‘shopping around’ in COVID times. Hoping to spend under $600 for a non-specialized, bombing round town type bike, though want quality and fitting by friendly, non-pretentious staff. Thoughts/suggestions?

  I don't think they have an online inventory but the folks at [recyclistas](http://recyclistas.ca/) are good people

  Rebuy and Recyclistas as mentioned are the two used "specialists", Cycles West often has some used stock as well. More shops used to do used but with the issues around rampant theft it's hard to take on the liability. Most shops will only take used if it's something they sold someone.

  I was in your shoes last month! I went to Recyclistas and the used shop in Langford. Way more bikes at the shop in Langford but they definitely weren’t in as good shape (lots rusted, torn up seats, etc.) Recyclistas had really low stock but their staff was really helpful. Most of their bikes seemed to be anywhere from $250-600 (tax included). Be prepared to buy as soon as you find something you like, as they’re flying off the shelves and you won’t really have the luxury of shopping around.

  I was debating whether or not to post the same question! I'm looking for exactly the same thing - something simple to get me from point A to point B. I'm checking out Recyclistas this week. I've been told (by someone who shops there regularly) that most of their adult bikes are in the $300 to $600 range.

  Hi Does anyone know a place where they will take fixer-upper kids bikes? Thanks,

  

  I'd know that Recyclistas & The Bike Lab Society (www.recyclistas.ca/) take used bikes, as does Joe Warde from the North Park Bike Shop (http://www.northparkbikeshop.com/). Joe works on the bikes and passes them along to the Victoria YM/YWCA (at least he did at the time of this message from 2004: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gvcc-members/message/988). Allan
