Any tips on bike stores (in Manhattan or Brooklyn) that sell used bikes? I have two friends who want to spend about $200 for a used bike. They are entry level riders and don't expect to find something fancy or cutting edge for that price. But they would like to be able to walk into a store, try a few bikes and buy one (as opposed to using craiglist or comparable sources).
Thanks in advance....

Both shops keep there used bikes outside. This makes it easy to browse.
