What planet are some of you on?
A bike lasts ten years. That's £200 per year or £4.00 a week or 90p per day.
Yeah, but so does a bike costing a lot less than 2 grand. That's rather the point I was making - you don't need to spend anything like this amount. Calling it "not a lot of money" is patently false when it's about three or four times what you actually need to spend. Sure, if you want the 2 grand bike go for it, but don't pretend it's not much money to spend on a bike. It's a hell of a lot.
