When I worked in the bike shop, we used to joke that when the bike rack has mor value in the vehicle above the rack than the vehicle on the bottom, you have the right priorities.

But its absurd when you think of the precision and standards that go into the manufacture of each...

I drive a van so when me an the lads go for a ride, we load 3x Carbon Fibre road bikes in the back and drive to the bike path. A shame there isn't a safe route to the bike path either. All three bikes are worth more than my van.
