What I say depends on who asks - if friends ask, I just tell them. When they dissociate - I say 'yep. that's what i thought at first, too. I couldn't imagine paying over $1000 for a bike - now I can't imagine my life without the bike." If co-workers or one of my staff asks I say, "A lot more than I ever thought I would." I like Lisa's answer, though. I'm going to try that in the future.

Usually I just laugh and say " a lot" or "too much," to non cycling people. My friends (non cycling) wouldn't ask, but since they know it's so important to me, I don't think they would care. They spend money on other stuff that I wouldn't do. People at work would probably faint if they knew how much my road bike cost. They don't understand why I have 3 bikes. My cycling friends probably know the cost, but don't ask. Here in New England, people are frugal and generally don't ask you how much stuff costs.
