Singularly no, infact even together they probably make less than one car.
Each one of my bikes is worth more than my £300 16 year old Vauxhall Astra!
yes....and they are all second hand too
Two probably, one maybe, one no.
Glad to see so many others got their priorities right too!
Why on earth would I bother to spend loads of money on something that depreciates rapidly, and costs loads to [s]run?[/s] Upgrade to look bling but perform no differently
fixed it for you 😉
Mine is about the same, paid £800 for my car and £800 for my bike, don't see the point of paying a massive amount on a bike,won't make me a better rider or less knackered at the top of every climb. Not one to fall for the "look it's made of carbon/plastic/jelly tots" kind of marketing that the bicycle seems to be going through at the moment but maybe i've lost my zest for mountain biking altogether and need to move onto something i'll get more enjoyment out of..........this is more my idea of off-road two wheeled enjoyment at the moment 😀

Militant_biker - thanks for posting that. Quality and now photo-shopped to clean it up a bit and my new wallpaper 🙂
I just sold my car for little more than scrap value. Some would argue my bikes are worth about the same. My account at CRC says different though 😀
monetarily? yes. I had (until recently) 2 cars, and 2 bikes. Each of the bikes was worth more than both of the cars (~£1200 per bike, cars were a £150 mondeo (scrap value) and a £800 mx5). I have a pub bike (bmx) which is locked outside my house. The bike has been stolen twice, (once from outside my house) yet the mondeo, which is rarely locked, remains untouched..
worth to me? probably not, if I had to lose a bike, or my (now only) car, I'd lose a bike.

Currently yes, my car is worth less than 1 k but with £30 tax and 60 mpg its a keeper
What car that costs less than £1k does 60+mpg and has a tax bracket of £30????
Current car is about equal to the most expensive bike.
All the bikes we have are certainly worth more than the 2 cars.
A free bike bottle would be worth more than the GF's works van, the things that work can be counted on one hand.
On a bike trip at uni' the contents of the car were about 40 times the value paid for the car, £500.
Yes

Do you know BMWs now have a higher recall rate than Ducati? True....
