When people ask me how much my bike(s) cost, I give them a range. I get that alot with my Bike Friday, but I really don't want to reveal what I paid for it. So I say, you can get Bike Fridays anywhere from $1000 and up, and sometimes you can find used ones, too." That usually satisfies them. The point is to give them useful info, not focus on my specific bike (or checkbook).
