Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Absolutely. I feel the same way. There was a time I would roll my eye's at some of these prices. Now my thought's often match the one you quoted above.

Yeah I caught a link with $228 pants and laughed. My entire work wardrobe is probably $350.

I still plan on resisting, at least for another 6-7 months.

But paying $125.00 for a jersey and $200.00 for a bib is pretty important when it comes to not looking like the rest of the pack.
I bought an overpriced Bay Bikes kit just because I knew nobody over here has one.
