Second - what's wrong with spending 5K or so on a bike?

FWIW my rule is that no bike can cost less than the car.



I've never spent five grand on a car.
I've only once spent more than HALF that on a car.



You are not average in this regard amongst car drivers ....



And five grand is an average bicycle?


Also not average, but not unimaginable.

It goes a lot further than that same 5 grand spent on a car, not even
beginning to count ongoing running costs.
