I had no idea bikes were expensive

[RadaMillz]

So I’m trying to get a decent bike and go riding on a bike trail. Haven’t had one since I was in middle school. I’m thinking couple of hundred bucks will do the trick




Come to find out they’re over $1000 and some cost more than 5k


With that kind of money, you can put a down payment on ur favorite car. They tripping.

Covid has them on back order as well. Had to get mine on offerup and put work into it. New tires and a brake change was about 350$ not bad considering the bike it is

They're expensive now cus everybody tryna get one. In terms of price you can get an average bike for $300-600, but it'll probably be heavy and have shytty accessories. The bikes that go for $2000+ are for serious riders and yes they do make a huge difference in ride quality, speed and braking.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

U can still buy cheap ones
Expensive bikes are for fakkit ass cacs

I had my bike custom made. It was $3.5k.

 

[SNYC]

Yeah, my shock when i found out 10 speeds is ancient

I was looking into a Specialized or Cannondale

You're paying for that carbon fiber and light aluminum tubing, quick release wheels & seating, braking systems

The days of the heavy metal toys r us bikes are done..

Go to Target and get you a bike B.

 

[I Really Mean It]

at spending any more than $300 on a bike. It’s a fukking bicycle. Get a grip on reality.

@RadaMillz

Yea it's too late in the cycling season to get a bike.

I ride, we have a few riders on here as well. This time of year every year bikes are hard to find.

Just wait until nov-feb and check Craigslist.

Let some fukker buy a brand new bike, spend brand new bread thinking "this year is the year! It'll be fun!" Then that shyt will sit in their garage or basement or backyard until they need money, move, wife makes them sell it, etc. Then you buy it for cheap off Craigslist.

I've been watching the hustle for more than a decade. It never changes.

 

[Soundbwoy]

Costco got got some good bikes for cheap, I got my eye on a fat bike myself

 

[Pazzy]

I always wanted one too but fukk paying a thou for that. Its annoying how some folks ruin shyt for everybody though because shyt wouldn't be expensive if there weren't enough people willing to toss that money. Some folks need to chill out.

It's a Heritage bike.

Actually, that bike is new. It's only about a year old.
I customized everything. Brooks saddle and handlebars, generator in the wheel for front and rear lights, steel frame, spurcycle bell, custom wooden fenders, Abus lock and a few other accessories.
