Might just get one of these, don't need to worry about sourcing extra parts plus it's a hell of a lot cheaper

Riding those kid's push-skate/bike things. The skateboards with a steering column.

That's for either pretentious poseur bankers, or the sponsors pay for it.
£9k on a pushbike is nonsense.

Most of the money is down to development costs spread over the few that are sold.

Let's face it - if you've got £9k to spend on a bike, you're going to be an alcoholic rich tubster that's just doing it for the lols. Which makes you a cunt.
Or you're going to be SIR Chris Hoy, in which case you won't pay for it anyway.
Also there is no point in buying a Ferrari as the speed limit is 70mph.
So that's YOU sussed!

Doesn't look like it'd cope with full armour, but it might take a sneaky suit of mail.

Not that I'd know, personally.

Fact of the matter is that something is worth what people will pay for it. If people will pay 9 grand on a pedal bike, then that's what it's worth.
It's easy for me, coming from the perspective that a bike is a mode of transport that's mildly more convenient and slightly less uncomfortable than running, to say that's a ridiculous price tag but then it's not aimed at me.
