General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

My next door neighbour has two bikes and I know that he paid around five grand for one, which I find crazy. By the way, it isn't a motorbike nor an e-bike, just an expensive 'push iron'.
But, to be fair, he does get the full use out of the thing. I know, he cycled from Edinburgh to Glasgow via many towns and villages in the north of Scotland. I think that he cycled up to Inverness and then down to Oban and down to Glasgow.
Also, he went over to south Germany for a two-week holiday and cycled more than 1500 km. I told him, 'that isn't a holiday, it's a punishment'.
But! Paying 5 grand for a bike or 34 grand for a motorbike is because you are fanatical about biking or, you believe that it is an investment, or, as we say, you've got more money than sense. Whichever, I hope that it isn't the last reason.
