Then again, my legs could get me to work just as easily as my bike, albeit at a slower pace. My legs were free. A Rolex tells time fine. So does a Seiko. Cheaper than that? A Timex. Cheaper than that? A sun dial. Do you own a GPS? Why not just use a compass and/or a map?

Seriously though. A good analogy would be buying a Ford Fiesta for $90k instead of an Avalon for $40k. Why buy the inferior vehicle for a higher price than the superior vehicle? Makes no sense.
I spent $600 on a fountain pen that I wanted so badly I couldn't stand it
