Hey everyone, just moved to Calgary from overseas and I'm trying to save some cash by getting around on two wheels. I've been checking Kijiji but honestly it's a bit overwhelming—so many options and I have no idea what's a good deal. Anyone know any local shops that sell used bikes? Or maybe someone here has an old bike they're looking to offload? I'm around the Beltline area, so if you're nearby that would be awesome. Budget is tight, ideally under $300. Also, any tips on what to look out for when buying used? Like, are certain brands more reliable? I don't want to get ripped off. Thanks in advance!
