People buy bikes and don’t just repair old abandoned ones?

Kinda sad that e-scooters (as of like 1-3 years ago), are now cheaper than a decent bike for the same price.

Are more portable tbh. (Especially on the train)

My bike cost half that and is 15 years old.

I love it though.

You pay 1k euros for a 1k bike. I use my tax money to ride a 10k bike to work.

We're not the same

I bought my bike for $800 in 2008 and it has followed me around the country. I'm hoping to add some power to it this summer, lots of life left in her!

Jokes on you, my summer hobby bike (entry level aluminium road bike with drop bars) cost about the same as my commuter (aluminium hybrid with a flat bar).

When your life is N+1, you gotta make smarter financial choices, heh.

My commute bike was around 5k about four years ago, hitting 20k km this year. Bike was payed for work, not sure if I would've gotten one for that price otherwise

I ride a 300 € bike as a hobby in summer. It's from 2014. Given the highly advanced bike stealing culture present locally, any more expensive bike would need to be smeared with gull excretions for protection against theft. :P
