Freewheeling Spirit’s rant on the damage that pushing unnecessary bike bling does is spot on. There’s definitely a price floor under which you’re pretty much assuring yourself a poor experience on a bike, but there is absolutely no reason in the world to spend thousands just for a decent and serviceable bike.
(And if you like what Freewheeling Spirit has to say, check out his most excellent Bikes for the Rest of Us blog (you knew I stole that from somewhere, right?)).
