My new hybrid bike just cost me close to £300 and that was reduced at Halfords from the original price of £450.
We did have a couple of bikes when we were in Cyprus (given to us as payment for a job my other half did for someone) but we ended up giving one to our landlord to pass on to a Polish work colleague in Limassol and eventually sold the other one on for a few euros. Cycling in Cyprus is definitely not for the faint hearted.... we feel much safer on the roads here in UK since we came back - even with the articulated wagons passing us when we ride along the A588.
