There’s a thread on this already. People won’t keep their money. It’s simple business, supply & demand. Although cycling is massive & seems to be growing it’s a good job we’re not like Holland & China, if it wasn’t for all the bone idle fatties the prices would be even higher.

There are component supply issues also.

I saw very few bikes in Beijing and Shanghai surprisingly. That was back in 2012, expect there’s even fewer now and even more cars. The traffic and pollution were horrendous (similar to São Paulo, Guatemala City and Bangkok, Mexico City even worse by all accounts). We actually have quite light traffic in the U.K. relatively

I only spotted one purchase worthy of making over the whole last year, and that was secondhand as they always are with me. Poor choice and generally high prices on both new and used markets, i got very very lucky in November, before and since has mostly been a waste of time even looking. At least the first half of this year will be the same, possibly even the whole year. Best give it a miss.

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny

That’s as maybe but they certainly weren’t being ridden when I was there...there might be 9 million bicycles hiding in sheds in Greater London too
I’ve no idea what the rest of what you've written means though

So with this subject I was wondering if I was defo being ripped off on this Bike to Work scheme even though the seller likes to remind me I'm making a 31% overall saving...?? The Bike I want is a ROMET HURRICANE ROAD BIKE..
The bike is 699 euros but I get a scabby helmet and lock with it. Now I'm not anywhere near an expert as u can probably tell but I was hoping somebody could tell me if I'm being ripped off on the price and whether the bike is any good?? Plz help if u can

Hello, I generally agree with your observations and comments.
However how often do prices fall ?
Other issues ! maybe greed !
Best wishes.

There's a very good reason for that.
