It’s true that a lot of things take an investment but I don’t think you should be so prescriptive about some things like when you say: “Cycling shouldn't be about the gear itself. It should be about, well, getting out there and cycling.” People can of course enjoy a hobby or activity and get something out of it that’s not the thing you think they should be getting out of it and that’s awesome. It’s okay if the fun is in spending the money, and it’s okay if you have a $1200 bike and don’t care about that stuff. They’re both equal ways of approaching any given hobby.
