	At least he admits his ignorance.  However, the average bike that
people buy is probably in the $150-$350 range.  Childrens bikes are probably
less, but I haven't priced them.  You can get bikes in the $3000-$5000 dollar
range (Composite or titanium frames, Campy or Dura Ace components, possibly
tri-spoke wheels), but these are typically purchased by serious cyclists and
racers who put 200+ miles/week on their bikes, not the average college student
that is more likely your pet peeve.
