        How are bicycle prices faring with the fall in sterling?

          Probably going up because good bicycles depreciate slower than Sterling...

              No they aren’t. If you push a car off a cliff it goes up in flames and there’s very little evidence of it left.
              Push a bike off a cliff and it just lies there with its flashing light acting like a lighthouse to ships 10 miles off shore and a chemical spill from all the gel packs and your disposable gloves easily found as well.

              ...or so I’ve read somewhere.
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                New cars are not sold - they are rented out for a few years.

                HTH

                  The only thing thats worse than the renting out bit is knowing that when it comes to toys like your baby there is a closed shop for disposal and the second owner effectively gets about 10k dumped on top because he could not go to the auction and get the car themselves. By the way how much does the interior of your ML rattle? My drivers door is diving me up the wall

                    In preparation for my car hunt early next year I found https://flippingcars.co.uk/ who will buy a car at auction for you for £300 or so (which will be less than the extra you would be paying the auction house as a private bidder)
                    merely at clientco for the entertainment
