Usrin: you are very right with the salary average topic! I agree, we have to see the median of the data!
But with the bikes, you aren't. Maybe there's inflation, but that didn't really affect the bike prices. In the bike shops, the bikes started around 18 000-20 000 HUF in Kazincbarcika 6-7 years ago, and now, in 2004, it is the same. For around 30 000 HUF, I would be able to bike a good mountain bike. (Good for me, maybe not for Zak.) Like it was in 1998.
To close the topic: now I'm planning to buy a better bike next spring, and I have 50 000 HUF for it. Or I wanted to say: I'm planning to pay around 50 000 HUF for it.
