I can't find a bike anywhere
The only bikes available are the really high end ones $500 or more. I used to have a sweet Schwinn mountain bike before a youth/teen stole it right out of my garage last summer. It was only $275 when I bought brand new. A similar bike to the one that got stolen from me is $580 now.

Anyone able to get their hands on a bike that's under $500?

It's true I tried to buy a bike recently. Even high end ones were sold out. They said it was because a major Chinese factory was closed. Trek and Giant were both impacted. Bikes have more value right now!

We should have plastic bikes for free, you could own one or leave it anywhere, so someone could take it and go from A to B

Check craigslist and the like 2-3x a day. Make sure you are clicking the "most recent" search option as nice bikes at reasonable prices will sell very fast in this market. Craigslist default search is "most relevant". You have to be one of the first to catch the ad if it is reasonably priced.

It is a sellers market. The competition is between buyers. Want the bike more than the other guy and you will get it. Either catch the deal before the other guy, or pay more than the other guy. Good luck Sir, bicycles are awesome.

Buy a used one - preferably from before 1995ish. You can get a damn nice bike for about $200. Look for Shimano XT components (or XTR is even better) and you are almost assured of a higher end bike that cost about $700 or so back then.

Funny you say this was talking to a bike shop owner today, he said there is no bikes to be got... He said 95% of bikes are made in China and parts.. bikes that were €180 are now €240... He said no bikes will be available for Christmas..
