I was reading a post in the hybrids forum about whether or not a bicycle was a "good buy" referring to cost.
I was thinking about it, and I believe that buying ANY bike is a good buy with the caveat that you use it. I thought this to myself:
Say you buy a bike for $1000 and ride it once. That ride cost you $1000.
But, if you ride it twice, each ride cost you $500.
4 times, $250.
And so on. So the way I look at it, my bikes really haven't cost me much at all over the past year and a half.
I'm trying this logic on my wife in hopes that a Wabi or CX bike is in my future.....
