>>33637Out here you can get a kickass bike for sub-5k.
I bought my 525 for about $3500... year old, about 1k miles on it (now has 18.3k on it), and had a few aftermarket goodies put on.
It's paid for itself several times over just in the fuel difference between it and the truck. Not to mention the exercise.
Sitting at a desk all day eating ramen and mountain dew for lunch on a regular basis isn't real healthy, but our company wellness exams proved I was one of the healthier employees.
