It's true, bicycles come in a price range that's enormously wide. Everybody gets to choose where in that price range they are comfortable. What I don't get are the skoffers who feel the need to criticize others for their bike price range choice as being either too high or too low. I'd think that if you were really comfortable with your own choice you wouldn't feel compelled to do that.
