bike question help

[lotsofplants]

I should've thought to ask this sooner.

I got a free bike. I need a helmet and a lock. I would prefer to pay less than $50 for these two items. Anyone have suggestions on:

- good stores to purchase such for reasonable prices?
- brands to look for / brands to avoid?

Hmm. Could you put Sarah in touch with Colin? (that's his name, IIRC - the cute one with curly hair and blue glass necklace.)

Possibly. I've been to RecyCyc's with my coworkers/ bike culties, and they treat said coworkers like gods. It's scary. Plus, they give mad discounts. We shall see.
