James May Decides Which Is Best: His Dacia Sandero or His Bicycle

Both the bike and the car are roughly equal in price.

James May made the Dacia Sandero a meme on Top Gear , by discussing the details of the affordable model during the news segment. He’s an expert on the Sandero and is the ideal person to review it. But there’s a twist.

May decides to compare the Sandero with his custom-built bicycle, rather than simply driving it and evaluating it. The bicycle and automobile have a combined price of approximately PS10,000 (or $14,161 at the current exchange rate.

In the UK, the Sandero is available for as low as PS8,000. However, it comes with luxuries such as a 90-horsepower motor, air conditioning, and a center seat armrest. The bike weighs in at 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg) and is very exotic.

May’s bike has been called the supercar of cycling. It’s light and has exotic parts that make it capable of incredible performance. However, there isn’t much comfort. The seat is thicker than a few playing cards. May also suggests that the saddle provides all the comfort of a colonoscopy.

Although the Sandero may be basic by automobile standards, it offers many amenities that the bike cannot, such as a windshield and seating for up to four people. May said that the car rides well without feeling harsh. The top speed of the Dacia is 111 miles an hour (179 km per hour), which is a lot more than what you can do on a cycle.

It may be more social to ride a bike than to drive a car, depending on your level of socialization. People who enjoy cycling will be interested in May’s journey and will have many questions for him. Contrarily, you’re completely focused on the road and don’t care about Sandero.
