    I refuse to believe hobbyists are spending $10K on bikes, or commuters are spending $1K.

    I can barely accept that the going rate for used bikes is over $200.

      If you want an electric bike, the price goes up fast.

      If you want one with a belt so that it won’t take crazy maintenance not to degrade over the winter, it goes up faster still.

      If you want storage for your purse and whatnot, a bit more expensive still. A good large basket is more expensive than you’d think.
