I want to buy a bike, but everything seems too expensive nowdays?

My first road bike cost me $79.38 in 1974. That translates to $387.75 today, or about 200 quid. That was CHEAP back then, but for that same amount today you can get a reasonably good bike from a bike shop.

My first SERIOUS road bike cost me $987.00 in 1976. That translates to $3525.00 today, or about 1500 quid. A bike with this type of price tag will get you one of the best you can buy.

The average price of a bike today from all sources including toy stores and department stores is $312.00. $312 (150 quid) is about 5 days work for an entry level worker which will get you a bike that will last 5 YEARS if taken care of. A respectable bike shop quality bike costs about $500 (275 quid).

If your liver is only worth 150 quid I suggest that you stop drinking and use the money to buy a bike!

Stuff on earth arent free. Let me tell ya you have to even pay for parking at a cheap amusment park! Try swapping at a swap shop for a bike or get already used bike on amazon.
