You're getting on an elevator w/ your bike as your neighbor gets off. She holds the call button long enough to tell you about another neighbor that spent $7,000 on a custom titanium bike. She concludes by saying, "For that much money, you could get something with four wheels to get you around the city!"

OK Hotshot, as the door closes, what do you say?

I went with, "For that much money, she got two wheels that gets her around the city faster!

Where would the fun, exercise, money savings and positive environmental aspect be in doing that?

*Hold the *** **** door open.*

What idiot would waste $7,000 on a car in this city? That would be so sad, and such a waste. You didn't make that mistake did you? Or did you mean just the parking fees? I'd rather be healthy and happy.
Did you need me to help you pick out a good bike, so you can be happy too? I'd be glad to help a good neighbor like you. We all waste money once in a while, it's OK that's how we learn. Don't be embarrassed I've made bad decisions too, it happens.

I won't tell the neighbors how !@#$%^&* stupid you are to use a car around here. I just want to help. You're not disabled are you? Can you ride a bike?

* big insincere grin* :D

I'm sure most would prefer a $7000 steel cage, but I'm certain he loves his two wheels more.

Not that funny, but my sister who lives in Manhattan actually pays $6,000 a year just to park her car!!!

How long does a custom titanium bike last????

"And how much to park it?"

(This is Manhattan, right?)

A very well dressed woman goes into a prestigious Manhattan bank and requests a $50,000 loan. The bank manager explains that she needs to put up collateral, and she motions to a brand new Ferrari out front. The manager agrees, and they place the car in their underground vault and issue her loan. Two weeks later she returns to the bank and pays back the loan in full, with the $50 accrued interest. The bank manager asks her, since she obviously has the means to afford a Ferrari, why did she need a $50K loan which was repaid in two weeks? She said to him, "Where else in Manhattan can I safely park a Ferrari for only $50 while I'm off on a 2 week vacation?"

Just about as long as a standard titanium bike.

You need to make a fixture for yours and start flexing the BB.

Ti owners need to know when to get a new bike. :)

She acts like that $7,000 dollar bike is top of the line. I tell her that a top of the line bike is more like $12,000. Just to see what she says next.

Yeah, but then I would need to spend $2000 more to go to the gym to keep my butt narrow enough to fit in the seat.
