Yes.
Yes
Yes, by some way
Yes. I only really got the car to haul bikes around. My car is close to worthless but I like it and can't see any reason to spend more
Good god yes. And that's not to say my bikes were particularly expensive either.
No, combined value roughly 40%
Yes, as confirmed when i sold my car on Monday. Now I'm thinking I probably should have made my mind up about a new car before I sold 😕
My new car will be worth more than my bike.
Yes. Although all are currently worthless with a leg in plaster. Health is priceless.
Nope
I think the petrol in my car is worth more than the car so yes the bike is worth a lot more.
Well, I don't own a car so n/a. However my wife does own a car and very much yes, though that may say more about her car than our bikes...
Bikes plural, yes by a long way.
Not individually unless you count the new prices.
Yes. Which is why the bikes live in the house and the cars are on the street..
well i'd struggle to sell the (custom/niche) bikes for much but they would certainly cost well over twice the cost of the van to replace.
Nein.
i don't have a car so yes
This IS refreshing news!
I suppose it does make sense though, I mean why would you waste money on a car when you could buy a nice bicycle instead. I don't think I would [s]waste[/s] spend money on a nice car unless I was making 100K plus a year, which let's face it isn't about to happen. Or maybe I am just too posh..... because as we all know proper posh people always drive the crappest cars oh yah...
No
Yes both bikes even individually worth more than my car. Collectively worth more than Mrs GC car. I drive the banger and Wife and Child take the better/decent one.
Inspired by another thread a month or so ago I am selling my car and just using the bike and having the one family car. My banger sits on the drive and gets used 1/2 times a week maximum.
Definitely not!
Combined value, yes. New for old value, definitely yes.
Car is just there to transport bike stuff and commute (sadly not rideable commute).
I have 12 bikes and no car, so yes.
However, in a few weeks the new car will be delivered and it will be a no.
Collective bikes worth more than both cars!
Not if Mrs dpfr is asking!
Sadly, no.
as I don't own a car then yes.
Think even my winter road bike is worth more than my car. And that's only a Spesh Allez
Didn't know Specialized made cars as well.
Nee.
Nej.
Ingen.
Not as expensive as one, more than t'other 🙂
I think so yes. Car is a battered old Zafira that's basically a child carrying device. Down to one bike, but I still reckon it's worth more than the car.
Combined - yes.
Bike is in single figure % of value of car. I like very simple bikes which even when built up nicely are still relatively cheap.
"Worth" is tricky to quantify. Is that what I paid? Is it the RRP? Is it their residual value?
I have one bike that's worth £1850, about £600 or just under a grand depending on which you want to take.
The car would have been about £20k new, we paid £2400 and it's probably worth £1750 now.
So that one bike might be worth more than the car or it might not......
Now ask me which I'd rather have nicked? The car easily. 🙂
I have three bikes and we have two cars
One bike is worth more than both cars put together
Another bike is worth more than my car
And the last bike is worth more than the wives car
That's at the prices I paid and still stands with used prices of bikes taken into account now too
P.s I also actually have a forth bike which is a 1995 cinder cone that is worth more than any car. (kind of :D)
No (if I'm being honest and use second-hand values of both).
Yep, car is an old Passat 1.9tdi for £750....god knows what the bikes have cost, the last one was £2,200 in January.
Sad, very sad I know.
About evens at the mo, both bikes and car are crap.(except my 29er hardtail, which is amazeballs, but still only worth maybe 5-600 second hand)
yes
Yes. Car on 230k miles now and maybe worth £500 scrap. So not actually saying that much about the value of my bikes which are mostly built of sh bits.
you decide?

Good thread this for a would be theif to start looking who they can find to rob.
Just saying...
^ good luck nicking the Prairie -AKA 'Pussy Wagon' it was scrapped. 😥
Bastard MOT man - there was nowt wrong with it
Nope.
But I prefer riding the simple bike to driving the expensive complicated car.
So maybe the bike *is* worth more than the car.
Yes.
I think the stickers on it are worth more than that Prairie was! 😉
