What blew my mind is what some people are spending on bicycles and
parts. Kevin showed us a mod he was working on for a customer. New
12-speed cluster with 50T cog and the cassette alone cost well north of
$300. Twelve! Crazy.

It's important not to attempt to correlate the amount of bicycling with
the number of new bicycles that are being sold.
