Hi,
I am looking to move to Las Terrenas soon. Hopefully, I will get my things (including my bicycle) via residency soon after, but when I first move there, I wish to get a bicycle to reduce my dependency on taxis or shoe power. Also, while I expect to buy a car, I do not want to be desperate to get the first one.
Are there some reasonable places to buy bicycles in the area? I do not care if it is used. I would enjoy it more if the bicycle had an electric motor, but I can make it work without that for a while.
Most important aspects for the bike:
- decent shape (no broken welds or other parts, tires have good amount of rubber left)
- 6+ gears (I will have to ride some steep hills)
- good brakes. Ideally disc brakes or better.
- reasonable price. I am not looking to sponsor someone's early retirement from this purchase.
Nice to have:
- suspension
- electric motor
- high end brakes
Any advice is welcome,
John
