Bike Bling

Since I am giving up driving privileges soon, I decided to ask for a bike for my birthday.

Little did I realize how much the cycling industry has changed and evolved since the last time I was in the market for a bike.

How much would you say the bike pictured above goes for? $500? $750? Try $6,300.

And the helmet? $50? $75? Nope. $230. (And there are others that go for $400.)

$6,300? You can buy a decent used car!

Owners of the "Demo" bike made by Specialized better have really good insurance.
