If someone does ask, I politely tell them that Bike Fridays (or insert your bike brand) come in a range of prices and models. If the person insists, I return with a question to them: what kind of bike are they thinking of getting, and what will you use it for? That usually turns the question away from how much my bike costs to getting a bike to suit their needs. I've never had to say "it's none of your business," but I've come close.

I just say, well, at least I'm not spending it on heroin.
