Free Bikes For You And Me

Bikes are a great way to get around cheaply and effectively. They also are great for exercise and weight loss. When used often, you can get where you need to go and lose weight. Instead of getting into your car and lazily driving everywhere while not burning any calories, you can enjoy the weather and burn off calories on a bike. While you may not have one because you can't afford one, this article will show you a couple of places to go where you can sometimes find free bikes being given away in your area.

Every year, people give away their bikes because they don't need or want them anymore. This year you can be the person that benefits from someone else giving away their used bike.

The Internet is a great place to start your search for a free bicycle. There are two web sites in general that should be checked for bicycles that are being given away near you. Of course, you'll find much more free stuff being given away than just bicycles, so you should definitely check these out even if you don't want a free bicycle!

Freecycle.org is a site that is all about getting and giving free stuff. If you live in or near a city, your chances of finding a free bike are much better. Even if you aren't looking for a bike, you can check out Freecycle.org for all the other things being given away. I have seen furniture, exercise equipment, books, bikes and much more be given away for free on this site.

The next site to check for free bicycles is Craigslist.com. This is a very popular site that is used by tons of people. While I like Freecycle.org because it focuses only on free stuff, Craigslist.com is used for much more than finding things being given away. Again, it depends on where you live, but for people living in or near a populated city, you should be able to eventually find someone that is giving away a bicycle on Craigslist.com. The "Free" section is located in the "For Sale" area.

Those are two great sites that you can often find a free bicycle on. If you can't find one right away, check back later, as you never know when someone will decide to give away their bicycle!

For extreme toys, alternative transportation, and human powered transport, check out ActionIsle, a web site filled with the latest and greatest, scooters, electric skateboards, cycles, sleds, luges, watercraft and more.
