When I'm asked about the cost of my bike I am honest. If they are shocked, well then they are shocked.

My sister spend $3000 on her cat, he was in a coma in an oxegyn tent.

My other sister had to go out and buy her kids and husband the new apple Iphone when it came out

I know people like a lot of you do who spend 4 figures on TV's

I've had a few women comment that they'd rather spend that kind of money on a designer purse

My bike shoes cost more than any other shoes I own. My first set of shoes lasted me 5 years, well worth the expense.

My shorts and jerseys cost more than my regular clothes.


I think it is all relative, you spend money on the things that are important to you.
