Are Carbon Bikes Too Fragile to Be Worth the Trouble?

Aluminum bikes can be fixed if they crack or break.

Welding them is significantly easier than welding other materials used for manufacturing bicycles.

Carbon fibre, however, is a lot more difficult to repair, and in some cases, impossible to repair.

Could you imagine spending all that money on a carbon bike only to crash hard enough that you can't use it anymore?

Are they worth getting because of that? If so, why? How do you justify it?
