  Emily W. asked:

  I have been riding an extremely heavy, rusted, Walmart bike for the past two years. It is my only form of transportation. I'm 5 foot 4 and weigh less than 100 lbs, and after experiencing what a better bike feels like, I've decided it's time to get something new. I ride a decent distance daily (about 20 miles) on paths that are mostly paved but not always. I occaisionally take longer rides. I am looking into getting some kind of reasonably priced hybrid that is light enough for me to lift, and reliable enough for me to take on longer trips. Any suggestions on where to look? I would prefer to buy used.

  R Community Bikes on Hudson. Very modestly priced, big selection, and it's good for the community. :P http://rcommunitybikes.net/

  If you have time check claiglist ads for garage sales with bikes for sale, get there early or contact them ahead of time to get a good deal. Rochester Community bikes has some deals.

  For $350, I have you (best value option). $100-200 R Community Bikes all day (225 Hudson). Or Craigslist, but post on the thread and get feedback before you pull the trigger:-)

  [QUESTION] Looking to purchase a new-to-me bike. Anyone know of any shops that sell used? Hey guys, wondering if any of you know about or had experience with bike shops in Rochester that sell used bikes. I'm looking through CraigsList currently and would like additional options. My budget is about $150. Thanks!

  My brother went to [Rochester Community Bikes](http://www.rcommunitybikes.net/) a while back. He said the people were helpful and I believe they have a variety of price ranges. His bike was later stolen though... so get a bike lock while you're at it.

  If you just want to get rid of them, consider donating to R Community Bikes (www.rcommunitybikes.net). But if you want some $$ for them, start with Craigslist.

  Katherine I. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a bike that would be good for a triathlon, but also be a good everyday road bike and is somewhat affordable?

  Here's an option that also helps the community. There is an org. called R Community Bikes Inc. They sometimes get "premium" bikes donated (tax deductible). They tune them and sell them on craigslist. You'll need to shop around, educate yourself, an...See More
