an economic analysis would need to be done with some assumptions, but off the top of my head i think that if you can lease a 30,000 dollar car for a few hundred a month you should be able to lease a 10,000 dollar bicycle. i would suspect resale values would be similar (percentage wise).

Brilliant!! You've just identified a great opportunity that goes along with the bike leasing market. Another way for bike shops to take care of their customers and move the carbon.
