Cheap Photo Frames

Bicycles can mean a cheap commute

Forget the fancy jersey covered in ads, the Shimano shoes and the $8,000 feather-light road bike.

This isn't France and you're not Lance Armstrong racing down the Champs-Élysées.

You're a commuter looking for an inexpensive, healthy, eco-friendly way to get to and from work. And as a growing number of local commuter cyclists have learned, all you need is a sturdy bike and a helmet. Neither needs to cost a lot of money, though you will have to put a little elbow grease into repairs and maintenance now and then.

Sandy Weiss, 45, of Webster Groves, relies on her oldest, least expensive bike for commuting to her multiple jobs as a physical therapist and college instructor, even though she and her husband own more than a dozen other bikes.

It's a Peugeot Canyon Express, a first-generation mountain bike that she bought for about $350 in 1990.

Steel frames like the one on her Peugeot, Weiss said, withstand the rigors of commuting best.

"This is the kind of bike that people put out on the curb, because the tires are decaying and the frame is rusty," she said. "It's been run into by cars and bent and unbent, but it keeps going."

Weiss has replaced the tires, the handlebars and, most recently, the drive train which she bought at a fraction of the retail price at a cycling swap-meet in January.

THE USED ROUTE

Buying used bikes and bike parts, it seems, is becoming de rigueur for many veteran and novice bike commuters.

There are at least three local shops that specialize in used bicycles, including Recycled Cycles & Service in University City, St. Louis BicycleWORKS in the Shaw neighborhood and Randy's Recycled Cycles on Manchester in the Grove neighborhood.

Randy Bond opened the latter eight months ago and says he can't keep up with demand. He's had to hire extra bike mechanics to get bikes ready for sale.

"I've had a lot of people come in looking for used bikes because they want to cut down on driving," he said. "They want them to commute back and forth from work and need to go six or 10 miles. You can come in here and get a decent bike for $150 to $250."

Bond gets used bikes online, at auctions, at yard and garage sales, and from customers looking to trade or sell.

Typically, he said, he and his mechanics refurbish them with new wheels and axles, pack the bearings, adjust and lube the cranks and head sets, adjust the brakes and derailleurs and replace parts that are damaged.
