There’s a decent used bike market at the Courthouse Metro stop on Saturday/Sunday’s. There’s another one at Eastern Market, too (but can’t recall their hours). There’s also Phoenix Bikes in Arlington (but not terribly Metro accessible, unless you like buses). They operate on Thurs, Sat & Sun, iirc.
Also, check with Revolution Cycles’ City Hub in Crystal City and see what they might be willing to work out. Definitely cheaper than CaBi, for your purposes.
There used to be a guy selling bikes up until about a year ago at Eastern Market but he got thrown out for selling hot bikes. At least that’s what I was told by another merchant. There’s someone now who has a couple of bikes there each weekend but nothing I’d let a friend buy. Looks like he pulled them out from a dumpster and just put them up for sale. The Courthouse market guys are much better, they actually clean up the bikes and make them ready to ride. They are only there on Saturday these days and go to a market in DC on Sundays (Georgetown, I think).
Doesn’t Papillon Cycles sell used bikes?
