second hand bicycle in chicago?

jlxarchitect

Anyone know where I get my second hand bicycle in chicago area? Not too fancy so I won't lost to other peoples, but not too bad too. if riding it can give me proud of being an architect, that would be wonderful.

Blackstone Bicycle Works

I hear this blackstone place is cool, they let you use their shop and stuff...
you can take classes etc, i've never been, but i hear good things...
lots of donations...
you can pick up some bike furniture too it seems...

i thought blackstone ended with the fire that took down the building they were in
back in 2001 or 2002? anyway it would be great if they were back. i always liked going there when i lived in the hp.

oh and check out garage sales, since it's garage sale season--i got a rad raleigh grand prix for 30 bucks a few years ago, and a 10$ sanwa beater in working condition (ridable). but yeah, if you need cheap, can't beat 10 dollars

there's a guy who usually sells bikes from his stoop on the weekends. he's on the west side of wood just south of north avenue. 40 bucks will buy you a bitchin' ride.
