So I plan few trips for next season. First one in last week of July - get to
Vienna, around Danube to Linz and then back to CZ to small town Slavonice.
(About 600km I plan it for 7-9 days) Second to Hamburg - the farthest city with
direct train back home. (About 900 km I think it will take me about 14 days) Few
shorter trips and 10km every day to work… My brother said now something like
“C’mon next year you will have 5000 km on bike”
I typed that out thinking that was what it had cost, but then i thought about it some more and it may have only have been like 6000€ or something, definitely a high end roadbike.
edit: i also was kinda skeptical what he claimed for his average speed, but turns out he was not exagerating, he ‘proved’ it by having a meeting with a co worker of mine somewhere further away and then rode to our office with his bike while my co worker drove his car back, i calculated his route and it must have been something like 33 km/h.
I served with a guy who did road biking, and 33km/h seems reasonable for a commute. Kinda not surprised at the 6000 euro price tag. Road bike tend to be expensive.
While I don’t think someone would commute on a bike that expensive, I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question.
