The price of the bike is irrelevent, except to fire up the class struggle argument.
Yeah, but the article said the guy's a "line painter". I'm not quite sure what that is, but it doesn't sound like a highly paid profession, which makes the inclusion of the bike's price all the more odd.
I also "love" the line about how the cyclist is "well-known in his hometown as a thrill-seeker." I'd venture that, by many people's definition, that term could be applied to any cyclist on a road bike.
But clearly, this guy made a very poor decision and has a track record of doing so. He needs a taste of the Big House.
