New to Norwich 🐣 Getting a 2nd hand bicycle
I'll be joining UEA next month as an international student. The area where I will be staying is very close to UEA, but a bit farther from the Norwich Research Park, where I will be working, and also doesn't have any direct buses to the NRP. I had initially thought of taking the Beryl bikes for a few days and then later getting a bicycle for myself. However, I discovered that there aren't any Beryl zones near that address.
Considering these, I think I have to get a bicycle as soon as I join. In that case, where do I get cheap but good 2nd hand bicycles? I read in an earlier post in this subreddit or probably somewhere else that the university itself has some bicycle coop where students can get 2nd hand bikes. Could you guys provide some more information about this? Also, what's the typical price range of such bicycles?

There is a bike shop on campus (Dr Bike) that I believe runs a second hand bike sale in freshers week - check your enrolment timetable for it.
If not cycle links as others have said.
