Bicycles

[georgy.livejournal.com]

I'm looking to buy a bicycle. I don't want to do the time-consuming CL rigamarole. I know there are a few places in town (the place in Powderhouse Sq., Ace Wheelworks, Park Ave. Bicycle on Somerville Ave -- any others?) but I don't know a lot about the difference between them, which place is best, etc. What I'm looking for is a dependable hybrid bike that will get me around the city and the bike path for less than $200 (and the less, the better!). So, does anyone recommend one place over another?

Or, failing that, does anyone have a bike to sell? :-)

Thanks.

I thought I'd pipe up and say that I had an actually GOOD experience at Ace buying my bike, though admittedly that was 5-6 years ago, though I bought mine off-season so the sales staff had a lot more time to help me. I found a bike that I liked and the salesguy found me the same model in my size, 3 years old, for a really good price, from their Belmont annex that came in a week later.
