Just a suggestion to anyone looking to get into this game: I've picked up quite a few legit free bikes by putting an ad on CL. Wording along the lines of "I want your unwanted bikes, any condition, to fix up and ride/sell/give away to someone else. Will pick up." I did end up giving away most of them, sold a few, a couple I never got around to fixing and dropped off at the co-op.
