That's for a fancy bike, not that there's anything wrong with it. You can get by with a tenth of that if you get a "beater", which may or may not be sufficient

- swimfar 7y agoAlso, the annual repair costs are probably assuming you have someone else do them. I think that's a reasonable expectation for most people, but it can be quite a bit less if you can do some of them yourself. I'm pretty sure I average less than $50/year for all maintenance costs for about 2000 miles of commuting.
- Baeocystin 7y agoI paid ~$1,200 for my Rad Rover about 5 years ago, and maybe $100 in tubes/tire slime/etc since, and it's an e-bike. If someone handed me $50ish today for it, I'd still take it in for a full tune. I can do all of that myself, but the time savings would be great.
