    Hi All. A friend has recently moved to Charlesland and is trying to source a second-hand bike to get up and down to Greystones quicker. Its only for the summer so she doesnt want to spend too much.

    Does anyone have any ideas of where she could pick one up? I've had a look on adverts, buyandsell and donedeal but almost everything on there are for kids or are really expensive sports bikes.

    Any/All help very much appreciated, either via PM or on this thread, open to all offers and ideas. :)

    Have a look in the sports shop in Tesco Greystones, they sometimes have secondhand bikes there

    Depends how much she wants to spend and if still looking for one.

    Wife has one she bought last year and only used twice. Looking for about 100 for it if interested.

    Pop into the Happy Pear in Greystones - they have collected a huge amount of bikes for a bike project that never got off the ground and they probably would be delighted to give you one for Free.

    I have a bike that I'm not using. Bought it new last year. Front tyre is punctured and the chain's a little rusty but still in working order. Anyone who wants it can have it for nowt. PM me if interested.
