Wanted: cheap bike [Bern]

Hello,

I'm looking for a cheap bike to get me around town. Can be a total beater or something decent depening on the price.

If you have one or know where I can get one please email me!

Cheers,
Bernard

Re: Wanted: cheap bike [Bern]

If you go to Wabern (south side of Bern) and follow the Seftigenstrasse (main street) until you see a small bridge on you right hand side, right in front of a sub-division (coming from Bern), follow that small trail and it will take you to a local bike store. They sell used bikes for cheap money. You can get them starting at 50 CHF I think.

Just to make sure you don't get lost: once you are following that trail, it will take you through a farm first. So don't stop there. After the farm there will be a small pond on your left hand side. There will be a small building on the right, which should have a few bikes lined up all the way in the back. Just go in there and wait for assistance.

If you take the Tram # 9 to Wabern, it will be a walk of 10 - 15 minutes.

Re: Wanted: cheap bike [Bern]

I'm interested in renting a bike for about 4 months, unless it is cheaper to buy one. I'm looking for a regular bike - used, old, the works. Any place in Bern near Waldmanstrasse/Bumpliz??? Thank youuuu

Hey Pete,

Am really interested in this bike shop. Would you be able to point out where it is on Google Maps? This is as far as I've gotten:

(Sorry about crude link but not sure how to embed a Google map into a forum post)

Re: Wanted: cheap bike [Bern]

I dont know about the other places mentioned here but I have been to Niederwangen (just past Bumpliz - catch the train its about 10 mins max). On the main street Freidburgstrasse, which is just outside the train station, there are at least two shops that sell bikes, new (Ski and Velo centre) and second hand (Sportboerse), possibly others. Viel gluck!
