    Yes, road bike was about £1000, as was the mountain bike. My cars probably worth about £200.

    YES….I used to spend silly money on cars, having lost several £1000’s I have seen sence and bought my wife a cheap people carrier and I went into the company car scheme.

    The combined value of my bikes is probably about the same as my car. Though this does not say anything about the quality of either!

    Well, i don’t actually drive so a car would be a bit of a waste! MsD’s car is probably worth less than £500, so when we go away with the bikes we joke that all the money is on the roof!

    combined value, easily.
    Road bike on it’s own, nearly.
    Car before was only worth £1600 so bikes easily won. I took a perverse pleasure out of that 🙂

    I’d probably get about £300 – £500 for my bike if I was to sell it in the classifieds.. so yeah, by a considerable margin.. 😀

    Loads more. Actually 2 or 3 of them are.
    When I bought my first car it cost less than the front brake of the bike I had then.
    Even my Mondeo was cheaper than my rear hub. Got a newer, posher car now, worth nearly as much as my frame!

    I don’t own a car at present, but the two I have had cost £200 and zero.

    Current bike collection is about £7k

    IMBA poster on my wall – can’t find it online, so here is a photo of it:

    Best example I’ve seen was a Saab 99 rescued from a scappy for £50 and somehow coaxed through it’s MOT. Arrived at a race with £7k worth of Bianchi on the rack.

    Two of my bikes are each worth more than my car, or would be if I had to buy them new.

    My car really isn’t worth much though

    each of my bikes were worth more than my car until last week, then i went and bought a new car.

    Currently yes, except the SS which was made from the parts bin.
    New cost of all bikes is greater than the new cost of the car. i did not buy it new.
    my car is worth less than 1 k but with £30 tax and 60 mpg its a keeper.

    One of mine is worth about twice as much as the car. The hardtail, just a little more. The rigid and the dh bike combined are worth about the same. Makes sense to me, I only have a car to carry bikes around.

    Yes, and they cover more miles per year,so why not?

    3 are 2 aren’t.

    Car £650

    Enduro is worth about £1400

    Chumba about £900

    Dialled alpine about £700

    Why on earth would I bother to spend loads of money on something that depreciates rapidly, and costs loads to run?

    Yep, all my bikes are worth than my car (2002 Mondeo with intergalatic milage)

    Bike is probably worth more than car, esp given the state of the interior, haven’t really bothered to clean inside since becoming landscape gardener 3 years ago

    Yes, but like hs125 (jet dragon?), the bikes do more miles.

    Another with no car, so yes. Also if I got a car, probably so.

    My forks alone may be worth more than my car! Fiat punto with more journeys recently with breakdowns than without.

    Still love it though.

    My son’s Islabike is probably worth more than my car. The car might just about be worth more than his scooter.
