People see me carrying a bike up the stairs and they say, 'There's a bike rack outside.'
I just look at them and shake my head.
Wish I was less naive ~12 years ago! My husband at the time had $10k of bikes stolen from a locked bike room, inside of a locked garage. California cops said “oh that sucks..” Thankfully he kept his receipts and insurance covered them though. These days I would 100% carry them upstairs.
I have 3 bikes, total value ~$4,000.
Italian steel does not come cheap.
The other 2 are Trek. Very good bikes.
I have a carbon Wilier full Campy race bike. Older model. Record is not electronic. 40 mil rims. $5000 is about right give or take.
