Buying, renting bikes during the [In]City program

Bike racks get cold too... in downtown Berkeley

One of the participants asked me where to get a bike for purchase or lease in the local area. If you have more info than me, please add it in comments!

1. Mike's Bikes, University at Oxford St (across from the West Gate of the campus)

2. Missing Link Bicycle Cooperative, Shattuck just north of University.

3. Tip Top Bike Shop, Telegraph at 48th. This is in the Temescal neighborhood of North Oakland, which is considered the new cool hipster hotspot.

4. Manifesto Bicycles, 40th at Webster, Oakland. Tres cool.

5. Berkeley BART bike station. This storefront space is actually sponsored by BART, but they also give good advice. Haven't been, myself. Comments?

You should also consult the East Bay Bicycle Coalition website. You may also try Craigslist, the only problem is that the seller's location may only be accessible by car.
