    Where are bikes more expensive than a used car? I literally just bought a pretty sweet used touring bike for 200 bucks. I guess you could find a cheaper used car but it isn’t going to run.

    Decent commuter bikes from the major brands have gotten in to the 600-700 dollar range which sucks but is still pretty far away from used car prices.

    You can still get bikes for less than half that from the direct to consumer companies.

    So you either really need a carbon fiber bike with all the latest and greatest technology or you have incredibly low standards in used cars.
