Default a bicycle - with a price tag of 9,500 pounds

The bike, the most expensive in Britain, is too expensive to be insured
- so it comes with its own personal body guard.

I just don't understand spending that kind of money on a 4-3/4 ton
bicycle.

You missed the million dollar bicycle. 580,000 pounds = price. See
