Hi folks,

Please advice where I can buy a 2nd hand mountain bicycle here in Rio. I tried to check the classifieds here but no joy.

I hope to get one soon, cause the traffic here is crazy. Also would be nice to get some exercise in.

Thanks and Cheers

Just ask anyone in your neighborhood where there's a "bicicletária" (bike mechanic) they usually sell used bicycles, although you might have to check around a few of them to find a decent mountain bike. Generally every neighborhood has several bike shops.
