as the title says, anyone know where to buy a second hand bicycle that lasts for £100? I am having some cashflow issues and I am thinking of starting Deliveroo on top of my main job, hence the limited budget

Try a local charity bike shop.
Make sure you budget in for lights and safety gear (like locks, high viz clothing etc).
Deliveroo riders are certifiably insane like most London cyclists I see, cycling on roads at night with no lights and dark clothingSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

This place is known the be pretty reliable over in Elephant & Castle.
I've had a look there myself and although I didn't buy one the guys there really knew their stuff.
Camden Cycles is another one to look at but I found their range much more limited.

There's also this place over in Walthamstow but i've not used them so can't really comment

Thank you everyone for the replies
yes, ironically the bike would be exactly to work with Deliveroo but I'll use all the safety measures of course0
