It's amusing that people spend $10k+ on a car, then hundreds of dollars a year on gas, but $1000 for a bike is a status symbol.

This summer I built my "dream commuter bike". It was unexpectedly spendy, but when the alternative is a car, anything under five figures and it feels like you're making money on the deal! :-)
