    freecycle - you'll get a free, cycle! :rotfl:
    sorry couldn't resist - but our local freecycle have bikes on offer all the time, worth trying
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
  • Try your local paper always loads in ours - ebay have them but normally a pick up only - hope this helps
  • Hi Nadi
    Have you thought about trying ToysRus? I went there a couple of weeks ago and they had some great deals on adult bikes.
    Halfords sometimes have some good deals on bikes also. I know they have taken a bit of bad press from some posters, but i've had a bike from them and it was great.... they built it too!!! Good luck in the search.

    Just a thought... if you can go the extra stretch and get an aluminium frame bike, it might be better. They tend to be much lighter, which is good for on the wall storage etc.

    Hi Nadi
    Just had another look on Halfords and they have several reasonable womens aluminium frame bikes in 14,15,17, and 18 inch frames. They are all 125 pounds give or take a few pence.
