I'm an accountant, and I own 2 Colnagos. I regard myself fortunate to have the resources to own and enjoy them, but would not apologise for the fact.
If expensive bikes is what it takes to get people out of their Range Rovers, Porsches, and other fancy cars, and to experience what it is like to be a cyclist in London (road rage mini cabs, tipper lorries, mobile phone using black cabs, potholes) surely their bike time will make them more considerate and connected drivers when they get back in their motors, and thus make the hard core cyclists lives that little bit easier?
