Entry level racing bikes are about $3-5k these days. That’s a top end Pinarello with custom paint. It might be $15k, but it’s probably closer to $10-$12k with those wheels.
I’m the guy who puts my $8k mountain bike on the back of my 20 year old shitbox Honda when I drive to the trails
Singapore has some of the best mass transit in the world. It rivals Japan and Spain in quality. And in a city as dense as it is, it kinda has to be or the metro area simply couldn’t function. If everyone in Singapore needed to own a car to get around, the city would be in permanent gridlock 24/7.

and also, 15k would be like the cost of a drivers license there.
I don’t know the actual numbers, but it is wicked costly to even get the privilege to drive there, let alone get a car.

Not a biker, but it makes complete sense to me. Car = transport, bike = great pleasure.
It’s one of “the rules” that bikes on top of your car should cost more than the car itself.
