Hey! Everyone in my school wants to get a used (or at least cheap) bike, but we have no idea where to go. A location in Seoul or Yongin would be best. Thanks!

You can usually get bikes from bike shops in Seoul from roughly 100,000 won. Apart from that you could try recyclers; they often have bikes for cheap. You may need to fix it though.

Then there's often bikes on sale for here for 50,000+

And there's Craigslist as well.

Your options depend on where you live.

Yeah, I was going to say that I see many of those Lespo bikes for as little as 100,000krw new in front of local shops in Seoul if that is what you are interested in.

Yeah, I have seen many bike shops with used bikes outside. Usually 40-50,000. Home Plus and Emart have new bikes for 100-120,000.

I bought a brand new Lespo for just over 200,000. Bought it from a bike shop near Ttukseom station in Seongdong.

Our friends got brand new folding full sized bikes on G-market for about $120 a piece. We were really impressed with them and they've enjoyed them so far. Buying new isn't so bad as you can see that so many people want bikes. You'll be able to sell them very easily when you leave.
