This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

not as many as you'd think. it also depends on the demographics of your city. in my city people buy 10K bikes like they are $100 bikes, because they have the money.
Cycle2work scheme has, I think, massively inflated the prices. Not in a way where same shit costs more, but truly cheap bikes are just not really a thing anymore.
Idk I typically buy mine from anarchist bike co-ops and they're pretty cheap
truly cheap bikes were never a thing, unless you are talking wal-mart bikes. and those aren't really bikes, they are disposable toys.
Decathlon is offering real cheap contenders :D Their line of city bikes is SUPER affordable and already comes with every needed accessories
True, I could see it being a thing in parts of London
