That isn&#x27;t too much to spend on a bike. My bike is more than that and isn&#x27;t special in any way, just a good regular bike. And I just use it to ride to work, this isn&#x27;t anything I&#x27;m enthusiastic about.<p>Add the bags&#x2F;panniers, lights, pump, clothing and other accessories on top.<p>I get about 100 miles a week, 8-9 months a year so it justifies the investment.
