The bicycle industry has tested everyone’s pricing tolerance to the limit over the last few years, with frequent discussions on message boards about how unattainable pro bike pricing has become. I also hear and see a lot about greenwashing, and the increasingly cynical view people have about companies that claim to want to do good.
It’s not all doom and gloom, however, and in our recent sub-2k grouptest, I found four excellent examples of bikes that you can buy at price points that haven’t changed much in a decade, but still deliver on value. Not that ‘sub 2k’ is still very entry-level for many people, of course.
