used bikes toronto

ive been asked a number of times where to find good used bikes in toronto that aint a store. stores are often overpriced and markupy. so heres me list of places to go and check out:

mike the bike in kensington market. its hit and miss but can be a good place: http://www.mikethebike.ca/

community bicycle network on queen west is the best place prolly to find inexpensive bikes and to learn/have your bike tuned and fixed. great great socially concious toronto place: http://www.communitybicyclenetwork.org/

smiliar to cbn but smaller, the bike pirates at college and bathurst are defiantely a good resource when open. they have aq huge supply of used
parts and the occasional gem. http://bikepirates.com/

my number one place is craigslist cause often you get dumb people with twice ridden beautiful bikes at cheap prices. you gotta be quick in contacting them though. http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/bik/

same as craigslist but smaller and more 905 oriented kijiji was the place that i found the steed im currently riding. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/f-buy-and-sell-sports-bikes-W0QQCatIdZ111

although ive never bought anything off the police auctions but there are some diamoinds here and there. i dunno wherer you pick them up though. worth a look see. http://search.stores.ebay.ca/Police-Auctions-Canada__Cycling_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfclZ4QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ1QQsacatZ7294QQsaselZ157244611QQsuZpoliceauctionscanada

lastly....you can contact me. i always have a bike or two for sale so shoot me an email. there are also some secret places(not stolen) that involve a series of clues, handshakes and pathways to find.

that is all
