Place to buy used bikes

[Austintatious]

Is there a 30a business that sells used bikes, i.e., rentals that are being put out to pasture?

Specifically looking for a kids' bike, but also just curious where all those bikes go..

Thanks!

We tried that once, found it was cheaper to buy Target or Wmart.

Local rental guys do sell off some of their inventory every year - usually after the first of the year. I've bought a great used bike at Big Daddy's - other places (with bikes not as nice - and cheaper) sell off their bikes as well.

Yes - you can usually find one at one of the rental companies.

You can also visit the bike man on Mack Bayou Road.

Cheaper, but at what cost? Please recycle the cycles.

You can get a nice used kayak this way, too.

thanks all!

Big Daddy's actually reports that they donated all of their used kids bikes to Caring & Sharing this year. Doesn't help me, but a very generous act that I thought should be acknowledged here!

I think I will give the Bike Man on Mack Bayou at leave a drive by. Thanks again!

I drove by the Bike man the other day and I noticed he had some kids bikes out front. Note that the bike man on Mack Bayou also helped with the bike donation to the Muscogee Indian Tribe. We have good people in our community.

I'm looking for a used adult tricycle, preferably 3-speed. I keep falling off my regular bike.
