Hi everyone - I'm in Windhoek another four months and I really need a bike that doesn't cost the thousands they charge at the shops. Does anyone have any leads on second-hand ones? I'm looking for a large frame, ideally a road bike or hybrid but I am even willing to embarrass myself being seen on a mountain bike on the roads here.

Hi Spin Doctors and welcome to the forum!

I invite you to post an advert in Namibia classifieds, it may help.

Thanks, Harmonie - I posted in the classifieds too.

I actually just found a secondhand bike shop in Katutura that people might be interested in: It's a non-profit called , where former sex workers train as mechanics to get off the streets. Operates from a converted shipping container in the lot of the Council of Churches of Namibia, at the corner of Mungunda and Florence Nightingale. Apparently they do Cardboard Box tours of Katutura starting there too. I picked up a 15-speed mountain bike for N$750, or $89 U.S.
