They revamped freecycle recently. It's no longer running off Yahoo groups. It's still the same basic format though. The biggest problem I have with it is that you still have to sign up to a particular geographical area. Your 'n miles from my location' is more sensible.
"n miles from me" becomes less helpful in London at 5 or 10 miles or so, because travel time depends on direction as well as distance. I guess the situation is similar elsewhere.
I imagine there are services out there that provide geospatially indexed travel time. It wouldn't have to be very accurate to be useful for this.
