That cost would be at a volume no one would ever produce this at.

- Brian_K_White 3y agoWell, the volume could possibly exist if it weren't limited to one city, or one model of bike.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoNo, it couldn’t. This is all very dumb, it’s a fantasy product with no effective use targeting a population that didn’t ask or want it, done so that everyone can say it’s great which makes them feel like they are good people.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoYes the specific object is dumb, both because it's design has holes, and because there are better ways to get it's ultimate function. But the market for something like that is not limited to the exact specific population of homeless in London. A thing like that could be produced in the volume necessary to get economy of scale, simply by not being limited to one city and a single particular model of bike, or even limited to the homeless for that matter. If you don't understand that, then you are in a poor position from which to call anyone else dumb.
