Let's level the playing field then. This bike is a much more apt comparison to $32k golf clubs:
$101k

how is this different than people spending $32,000 on golf clubs?
No different, imho. I play disc golf, so wouldn't do that either.
As to the numbers in CA, the people over there are super health conscious, and they ride all over the place. I pass dozens of riders on the Silverado Trail every time I go over there. SF costs a fortune to live in, and those who do typically have enough money to spend on a 5 figure bike. Some may not even have cars, b/c parking is a complete bitch in the city.
When there I ride my Rockhopper over to Billco's for some IPAs, to avoid any potential DWI. Bikes are great.

so now you've switched your argument to moving parts?
damn, you really are a moron...why the frick would a golfer care about hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting?
Let's see how you switch the scope of the argument again to make a pointless point.
HOLY frick
let me try again:
golfing = rich man's sport. y'all drop thousands on green fees and equipment.
cycling/triathlons = rich man's sport. we drop thousands on road bikes & component upgrades.
i didn't realize this was a contest as to whether golf clubs were more valuable than bikes.
you can also buy 18 clubs off ebay for $75 and you can buy a huffy for $75

If you don't think they are engineered/designed/researched in the same fashion as bikes then you're fooling yourself.

The $32k clubs are only that much because they are plated in metals that cost $1,000+ an ounce.
I guess the proper bike comparison here would be this gold plated bike for a nice 1 million

um, it isn't.
but to be fair, you're the one who brought up a $32k set of clubs.
Posted on 8/20/14 at 3:25 pm to CAD703X
you made the assumption golfers spend 32k on golf clubs like bikers spend 10k on bikes...which is wrong...not sure how you missed this in your original argument but I guess I can't expect you to see that or even admit it....keep changing the argument! YAY!!!!

Things I have learned in this thread:
1. Cyclists are proud of their shite
2. Golfers are equally proud of their shite

It was a terrible comparison. You found the most expensive clubs in the world to compare to a relatively modest bike price range.
Posted on 8/20/14 at 3:27 pm to CAD703X
you can't change the argument 20 times then declare yourself the winner.

What would you say if I told you my two main hobbies are golf and cycling?
I think I just blew my own mind.

this is true
but it's not on the clubs and I'm glad you've at least seen the difference in a weird way without realizing you have admitted to being wrong
