    u mean a motorcycle or a bicycle?

    look on ebay for a bicycle dude.

    anyhow, yeah dude ive been thinking of that lately to, if i got a bike it would make shit so much easier, im always walking pretty long distances everywhere and a bike would make it so much quicker and less harsh physically on me. plus riding a bike is great fun!

    Bikes are Jah's gift to men.

    You can get a cruiser to just cruise, a road bike to go fast on roads, or a mountain bike for some all terrain biking. You should be able to find any kind of bike for cheap in antique stores, goodwill, and such... unless you want it new, and then your best bet is Target or something like that (unless you want to spend more than 100$... then you can go to a bike shop)

    A friend was riding his bike down the road one day. A cop pulled him over for not yielding or some shit. As the cop was writing the ticket, my friend just looked at him like he was crazy, laughed, and rode off on his bike. The cop was too dumbstruck to do anything about it. Just stood there and watched my friend ride off.

    yeaH! a bicycle. I would either want to spend a good 150-200$ bucks and get a nice one used, or just buy one at goodwill or soemthing. haha I think I might get one at goodwill for ten bucks n see if its something i would want to do all the time. because yea, I love to just go walk places and I imagine riding a bike is just as good but more efficient. especially if you buy the bike for 10$ lol

    I love riding my bike, it feels so good! You can check out craigslist or something? Or a local bike shop will almost certainly have bikes.

    Craigslist is a great place to get a used bike. If you want to get a good bike cheap try ebay too.

    I love riding bikes!
    I can't ride too far though, cigarette smoking has limited my physical activities.
    I can ride with no hands, though :)

    I don't drive, I just ride a bike everywhere. If you want a cruise bike buy a trek beach cruiser! I love them.

    i got mine for 60 bucks at k mart and put about 60 bucks worth of high quality parts on to it and it rides like as dream. though i agree with SKN, go with craigs list and recycle someones used bike.

    I'd be a bit weary of bikes from stores like wal-mart, target, etc, I can't believe some of the abominations I see in there that they call bikes. They are usually being built by some guy who has no idea how to work a wrench let alone build a bike and some of them are pretty dangerous right off the shelf. I've seen bikes in wal-mart with forks put on backwards, brake levers backwards, upside down handlebarts, etc. I would go to your local bike shop, alot of times they have some used bikes you can pick up for dirt cheap (like less than $100) now it wont be anything special but you know it was tuned and inspected by a quality bike mechanic. Also for about $300 it can get you an entry level mountain bike which you can ride anywheres.

    Most of the bikes from walmart and other such stores will end up falling apart on you after a short period of time.
