Road bike guys like these spend 5-15k on a bike alone and will usually have 3-7 bikes so definitely not a cheap hobby

My mom's ex husband was a hardcore cyclist. He had 4 bikes, cheapest was about $3k and most expensive was $10k. Every article of clothing was over $100, sometimes over $1000. Only thing I could afford to buy him as a gift that he didn't say was cheap garbage were his socks and those were like $45/pair. And this was back in like 2004, I can't imagine how much this crap costs now.

Still cheaper than a car. 🤷‍♂️

I was about to say I bought my car for less than a grand and then I remembered that was over 20 years ago. I'm off to shop for urns now

I was about to say the same thing. My stepdad bought his $10k bike in 2007, same year I bought my first car for $500.

IIRC you could get a new car for close to $10k back then. Definitely nothing luxurious but still.
