It wouldn’t be so bad but I literally need these for work. The metro closes at midnight and Im often working past those hours to cover owl shifts.
I now have to walk everywhere, watch what duty I get because im on the “Extra board”, and beg the agency for a ride if they have me work in another yard.
Im angry and sad, mostly sad.
I’m sorry if this is stupid or something, but how do flea markets look in the US? Because usually in Poland you can easily buy a used (most likely stolen) bike for rather cheap at those. Or if you’re living close to the border visit Germany and buy something from there.
Still, I hope you do find something serviceable for cheap in your area, and wish I could even recommend something but I literally only know that the US has garage sales and I haven’t heard of much else. I dunno how alienated from your neighbors you are, but maybe asking around if someone has an unused bike you could borrow or buy could help? It really angers me that I can’t help you directly and can only write this shitty comment. Sorry.
None of my neighbors have any extra bikes to spare or sell. So I’m just walking for now. Thankfully where I live there’s a train service. It’s not the best but it’s doable.
>It really angers me that I can't help you directly and can only write this shitty comment. Sorry.Is okay, I just mostly wanted to cry and vent
