Ah fark.
Target probably won't give me shit then with this smol POS.
Ah well, I had my fun clanking my knees against it all over this mountainous town.

You could sell it on Facebook/Craigslist/etc.
I've sold two bikes that way. One was actually broken - was a mountain bike that had one of the rear struts broken by a low root I didn't see on some single track. Some lady still paid me like $200 or so for it since she had a friend who could weld it back together and she figured her son would love it since it was a pretty decent bike (I paid $1500 for it new back in the day, sold it cheaply to get it out of my parents garage and recoup a bit). The other bike was functional and I got like $300 for it. It was an old Dicks Sporting Goods MTB that I had converted into an urban explorer bike during the beginning of the pandemic. I eventually ended up buying like 2 other bikes and didn't need it anymore. Some guy off Facebook wanted it since it had a 3x7 and a rear rack for cargo.
Just list it at whatever you think will sell, or go high and let people low-ball you enough until you get a reasonable price. Put the proceeds towards your next bike. 🚴

Dude your my new favorite stranger. If you wanna sort out the bike shit there are some very questionable resources right here on reddit.

Don’t know about where you live, but if you report your bike stolen here, you get invited to the police bike auction and can get really nice bikes dirt cheap in a somewhat moralistic way

How do the police get the bikes?

Abandoned bikes plus recovered bikes with no identified owner.

Also that whole fun civil forfeiture thing they’ve got going on

A lot of bikes that are stolen are quickly abandoned and not everyone files a police report so they store them. And even people who had filed police reports will have often done it for an insurance claim and have a new bike by the time theirs is found, so it doesn’t get claimed . They do the same thing with seized and found cars

That's a shame because I'm a few decades past being a kid and was never talking about needing a jacket.

You can get a used bike on something like craigslist for cheap!
