Probably pretty ignorant, too. Take a look at your income. Then take a look at income distribution in your state. Where do you fit in relation to the median? There are lots of people for whom a $300 bike is out of reach, much less $300 for a bike computer.
This makes no sense.

What the heck are you going on about?

You didn't read what I wrote.

If a $300 bike is "out of reach" of somebody, wouldn't a $150 computer also be "out of reach" for them?

No one was talking about people for whom a $300 bike was "out of reach".

As I said:

Usually, if people can spend $150 on a computer for navigation (the thing we are talking about), they can spend $300.

Not just that. It got poor reviews. It might be a problem dealing with warranties (if that comes up). And it looks like it would be a nuisance to use for navigation (might be ok if you don't need navigation). The price doesn't that compelling for those potential headaches.
