cheap or free practical bike wanted

Dear Forum,

trying to help out a friend who had her bike stolen yesterday (bastards!), and she needs one to get to work every day....

Does anybody have a cheap or free (or in exchange for a forum donation) bike they want to get rid of? Should be something practical, medium or small in size, can be in need of some TLC. Best would be London South-West or central, but could also travel a bit further for something suitable!

Many thanks in advance!

I know it's a long shot! But I thought I'd give this a weekend bump...

Good luck bump.

Not sure if it's any good to you but the company I work for, Buzzbike, does monthly bike rental for less than £30. The bikes aren't life changing or anything but they're practical and might work as a cheap stop gap whilst your friend is on the lookout for something new!

Thanks that's helpful! I will forward her a link to that.

Nice, let me know if she's interested and I'll have a dig around and see if there are any current discount codes.

Maybe not practical my brother found this looked online and posted here no one's claimed it. Maybe move the bar end shifters to the bull horn and a crosstown brake might work. https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/127215/?offset=16425#comment16898467

Thanks All for your suggestion and offers! I have sent them to her, although I suspect she is looking for something more resembling a regular bike. Less... LFGSS-ish, if you know what I mean?

Tried FB marketplace? Loads of old shed bikes on there and people generally just want rid
