I went to one and it was terrible, people were paying more for supercycle bikes than they for sell new. An entry level 70s raleigh went for over 5 bills. It was ridiculous. I don't know if those folks had just watched a storage wars marathon or what. I would avoid the police auction, most of the bikes also need tune-ups or worse so there is more money on top of auction-fever pricing. Better off buying a used kijiji special in my experience.
Black Arrow has a lot of good entry level bikes, I ride a single speed cruiser/hybrid bike around town and on all the stone dust paths in town without a problem, the smooth tires are way easier to push around on the road than the knobbies found most mountain bikes. Fat tires are plush like suspension and a lot lighter.
