Bicycle needed!

[HappyChappy]

I need to get around cheaply and I'm on a budget, does anyone know where I can get a cheap second hand bike??

You dont say where you are. In Phnom Penh a bicycle is pretty dangerous. If you are in Siem Reap you can get a good quality second hand bike from a shop opposite Psar Leu on Highway 6 for around $45.

I don't see how, I've cycled in Phnom Penh for more than a decade and never had a problem other than hitting submerged potholes/ drains a couple of times. Traffic never moves that fast.
Anyway, St 107 near O'Russei, Heng Ly Market on 271 or the bike warehouse on 1986 are all worth trying.

Are there bicycles at Heng Ly? I thought was all Moto parts.
Not saying you are wrong but I go past heng ly nearly every day and never noticed bikes!

Okay thanks for the heads up but I can't find anything online, for obvious reasons I'm hesitant to travel too far without speaking to anyone first. Do you have any links?

Places like this won't really have much online. Flying Bikes has a nice website but I didn't recommend it as it is for higher end new bikes.

Here's a video of the place on 1986:

It's years since I was there, but one whole row has shops each side for moto parts and then there's a row to the north with shops on one side only that's all bicycles. It's rough enough, thousands of bikes all stacked up in jumbles and piles. Probably not worth going to unless you have good Khmer or bring a local to help.

Head to Capitol Tours at Orussey, and just look in the nearest two side streets, can't miss them, bikes everywhere. From about $40.

No joke howard made a video about buying bicycles on street 105.

That doesn't sound too promising, you do need both of those things and to keep focused as there are always obstacles popping up. Sometimes I used to imagine that half the cars on my route were just waiting for me to come along so they could pull out and block the whole street while doing a 14 point turn.
