Re: Will Londoners get on their bike?
You're talking design of fixtures and fittings here. These bikes are titanium or carbon fibre.
They are big and bulky (i.e. to be sturdy and withstand abuse) but that doesn't mean the price goes stratospheric.
I'd be suprised if there was more than £5 or £10 worth of raw materials (metal and rubber) in that bike. Again, whole sale prices here, not B&Q. If you want things a bit thicker and stronger than you raw materials go up in proportion to amount you use. The TFL bikes do not contain 10 times more material than you'd get for a bottom of the line bike,
