I paid $30 for a used mountain bike that I rode for years. The trick was that I bought it from a bike co-op that sold used bikes, so knowledgeable people had already looked it over and fixed it up and they offered cheap stands/tools/help for any work you needed to do yourself. Did many 25-mile round-trips from Northern Virginia to work in D.C. on that thing.
I wish things like that were more popular here. It's rare to hear about any sort of co-op, and they tend to be in the cities rather than out in the sticks where I am.
