    I agree with the sentiment, but does it have to be so aggro? Was not expecting a suicide reference…

    I ride a beater bike around too, but it does coat money to buy new consumable parts for it. So expect to buy used for £50 or whatever, but then put an equivalent amount into it every year or two for brake service, shifting service, tires, chains and other drivetrain parts, eventually new bearings or wheels, etc, as things wear out.

    If instead you just chuck it and buy another used bike, well I guess you could do that, but it feels wrong.
