The ignorance displayed here is astounding. Appealing to the length of cars' history, when bikes have been around for even longer? Really?
> produced for the high-class with a 1000 percent markup?
Even more absurdity. I'm sure the markup is higher than for cars, but a thousand percent just reveals how little you know in a subject you're nevertheless overwhelmingly confident on.
You complain about the actual knowledgeable people being "spoiled high class citizens", even as you advertise your ignorance on the subject with nearly every sentence.
- TylerE 6y agoNot actually true. The first car dates from 1769, the first bicycle from 1839.
- kabacha 6y agoOof, it's almost like the concept of hyperbole is alien to you. Sure it's not 1000 percent markup but it's much much higher than middle class automobile. It's a niche product for upper class urban citizen, of course markup is high here. You can't serisouly be thinking that a electric bicycle has actually worth 8000$ of parts right? Not even 4000$, right?
