You could by a car for that

You could, but the bike would probably be safer and more reliable

I've got two mercs on the drive, each cost less than that, one I've had for over three years, I've done about forty thousand miles in, the other a year and a half, done about fifteen thousand. Two tail-pipes and two bulbs. Safe as houses, 40-45 mpg, comfortable, and reliable as gravity.

I saw some big fat feller on one of these little spindly bikes hit a pothole and nearly bounce off the thing! They should be kept off the roads and on tracks, they're not fit for road use IMHO (and I used to do a lot of cycling back in the day)

Yes bicycles are 10 times safer than cars. Or 100 times if the missus is driving.

Before I even read this thread I knew from the title it would be a bike.

Two wheeled pedal driven mode of transport, or promiscuous woman?

When I was a lad Cow Horn handlebars were the rage.

Great for giving your buddies lifts. Oh, and wheelies of course.

Both at the same time?

Did anyone else buy their kids a bike for Xmas?
