Of boots and bikes and cost of style

Bought a pair of Nike ACG boots yesterday . Good shoes, styled well,comfortable. Came in a recycled paper back and cardboard box.
Cost : Rs 3900/-

Bought a Hercules MTB 3 months earlier . Good bike, styled well, no gear, came with its own pump and bell and lots of metal mechanical parts. Don't know about recycling (pun unintended).
Cost : Rs 3500/-

Value for money? Will get back in six months with that.

Its been more than a year. The pair of boots I have worn everyday. The cycle I have ridden 5 days and week.

Time to buy a new pair.They are still comfortable, but kind of falling apart now.

The cycle,some flat tyres and one service later, still as good as new.
