Help convince me....

no, 500 bucks is too much for a bike. Unless your one of those psychos whos all out that I see riding in the rain on the side of the road at night. I really think theyre nuts.

A bike can go easy for 2 grand...

ps: we are talking canadian cash here 😛
 
If you're dedicated to biking and it's worth it, get it.

If you just want it because it looks cool, I mock you in an unspecified manner.
 
If you bike regularly and have the extra cash. Go for it. I have 3 trek bikes of my own. One I keep around for my gf to ride, one for myself, and one for my dad.

$500 is nothing for a bicycle.
 
I've got the same bike and paid $500 for it with a few upgrades (steel petals, computer, etc). Excellent bike for the price.

Total distance, travel distance, speed, average speed, and the current time. Has a few other options but I have't really gotten in to using them.

The one I got retailed for $40, but I paid ~$28 for it since I talked the guys at the bike shop down and gave them a total price I'd pay for everything.

I had a computer on my previous bike and loved having it, but the damn thing had a wire I had to run from the fork to the computer. These new ones are wireless. 🙂
 
Go for it. If you make use of it, it will pay itself back 🙂

I'll be using my bike to commute to and from work when I start my new job. Nice Canondale Bad boy 02 bike I bought a few years back. Very nice to ride.
