Where I live, 1k gets you a decent commuter bike without a motor. Doesn’t even matter much if used or new. Then you spend ~200 on parts every year. It’s outside 24/7, I don’t have a garage.
Oh yeah it took me years to finally find an apartment where the landlord would allow me to get a storage shed. I’m glad I can finally own a bike.
Leaving the bike outside all the time was always taught to me as a no-no that’ll pretty much instantly ruin your bike, so I hadn’t considered it.
Now though I’m moving this year or next year and I’m unsure how we’ll manage with my shed. Can it be moved? Will someone buy it? 🤔 Eh, I guess I’ll see.
I can easily believe a commuter ebike hits a grand.
I just never assume anything with a motor when I encounter the word “bicycle”.
Fr, when I hear bike my default thought is always like a $200 Huffy, not these pro-sumer things that cost nearly as much as a damn car

I don’t have a garage either, but I want to get a shed so I can stop spending $200/yr in repairs.
Anything but carrying the bike up from the basement every morning
Oh god that would stop me from using my bike so fast.
A-men
Fair. I just don’t consider non-electric one in such a hilly city. I just know I’d be too lazy to face the hills without the help of a motor.
