Rather than constantly questioning people about how much or how little they spent I would rather see this forum be a place where both the $200 owners and the $4000 owners feel comfortable, accepted, and welcome to share their love of hybrid bikes.

Don't get me wrong: if people like to bike on $2000 bikes that is their good right ofcourse.
What I said was that most if not almost all of these people have very little benefit of bikes priced above $1000.
Most people will not even benefit from bikes above $500 either.
