Default London to Brighton bike ride next week (blatant plug for me!)

chris harrison ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

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.


So where did "average" come into it? Although I'd suspect that it's *FAR*
more common to buy inexpensive cars than expensive bikes...

It goes a lot further than that same 5 grand spent on a car


How? Seriously - genuine question. I'm *baffled* about what a £5k bike will
do that a £500 one won't.
