<p>My daughter is a freshman and wishes she had taken her bicycle with her.... I know about KoppsCycle and Jay's Cycles, but I'm not sure if they sell used bikes.</p>
<p>She wants to find something reasonably priced, especially as she isn't sure how much she'll use it. We're not sure what she should have to pay - new or used... it's just for around campus. Not racing or heavy duty travel.</p>
<p>Should she get the kind with narrow tires, thick tires, or whatever she finds is fine?</p>
<p>Do you think she can find one thru Tiger Trade?
Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>I figure I can also surf and if I can find something that can be sent to her, but I'm sure she wants it fairly soon, and I'm not sure what's involved with putting one together...</p>
<p>Not too many places to get bikes around Princeton. I would definitely go for Jay's Cycle - they have a good student special for the first few weeks of school - and I got my bike there, even though I had a new one at home. I believe it was $250 or something like that, and it was significantly marked down so it's not like a cheap Wal mart bike.</p>
<p>Plus, they give you free tune ups through 6 months, and you can periodically come in and put more air in your tires.</p>
<p>Beware of biking on Nassau and Witherspoon Street though; the Princeton Borough police have been cracking down on the "no-ride policy" and you'll get a $50 ticket if you're caught. And the area is swarming with cops because they don't really have anything better to do.</p>
