Article in Australia’s Financial Review:
Rich Chinese are buying bicycles that cost more than the average citizen makes in three years …
It can cost up to $HK300,000 ($37,200) for an imported limited edition of expensive brands such as Italy’s Colnago or France’s Look, nearly 100 times the price of a Flying Pigeon, China’s official bike since it was born in 1950.
Wow … I like my bike, but not that much.
