Yeah, it's just a silly meme. I would spend a lot of money on a bike if it was my hobby. But here I am getting shamed for spending as much as 1k for a bike, which I thought was the bare minimum for a daily driver.
Sorry I didnt mean to come off as abrasive towards you. If someone is giving you shit about the cost of you’re bike then tell them to fuck off. I’ve been cycling and competing for 7 years now, and cycling culture is about the ride, not the bike the rider is on. Some bikes cost $15k, others $1k, and all these expensive components can help you get faster, but at the end of the day, what really makes you faster isn’t the bike, it’s the rider.
Yeah no worries! Just a bit of bike drama ITT
All good boss. If you don’t mind, what bike are you riding?
Sure! I have a VSF T-500 steel frame 21 speed with disk breaks
$1k for this bike is a steal lol. These are hand made in Germany and look 99% better than most commuters I see. The steel is real king! Keep riding
Yes my previous bike (also steel VSF) got stolen, so I was looking for the exact same one. Made sense to buy it new (with new parts) and I got a good deal on it.
