It is a attitude where a lot of people think anything over £100 for a bike (Toys R Us/Halfords etc) is ridiculous so its not surprising that they don't give cycling enough respect .
What do you think should be the minimum price of a bike to ensure those that don't take cycling seriously enough are excluded from the activity? £500? £1000?
Hefty-
£500 !
You could get a decent set of golf clubs for that. -
I think bikes shouldn't necessarily cost a lot of money, however at the moment, the minimum spend on a bike that is road worthy and safe is around £300. Cheaper bikes are death traps.
Had a lady come in to get her Apollo junker fixed because the chain kept coming off. All I could do for her was either lock out a few gears to make it safer or educate her about safest way to use her rubbish gears (lock the gears by using persuasion)

Chuck it on the floor/leave it out in the garden/drag the rusting thing out of the garage when the sun shines for a laugh. You might as well report a stolen spade to the police.
