What has your bike cost you in terms of Rands per km.

[BMXER]

If added all the costs together, my wife may catch wind = divorce.

Stop bitching and just work it out. I'm at R5.50, but that wll change as soon as I convince myself how much I really need that carbon 29'er...

[DaLoCo]

Roughly R3.30 on the Roadbike.....

 

MTB is around R9/km...don't ride it as much

[RacerX]

My god, what a sacrilegious question!

[SwissVan]

Stop bitching and just work it out.

 

The bitching's going to start when the cost per km is revealed for sure, best to let sleeping bucks lie...

Lol this reminds me of the statement that one day I am going to die and my wife's going to sell all my toys for what I told her I paid for them!!

My mrs is my accountant too so I can't get away with anything but it works well.

Just out of interest, what has your bike cost you thus far in terms of Rands per km. Its one thing buying an expensive bike, but you are only going to get value for your money if you use it.

 

I will start off:

 

I bought my current bike second hand for R7000 and have ridden 2000 km on it. That makes the cost thus far R3.50/km.

 

I have not included services and race fees etc just to try to keep things simple.

but if you sold it tomorrow for seven grand it won't have cost you a cent.you can't ignore current value if you want to compare across the board

[Fujioso]

My bike just clicked over to 20k km. So that equates to less than R1 per km, including all the money spent on it, kit included over the past two years.

 

The good news is that I do a lot of km per annum, so I can buy an expensive bike next time round and will still work out quite cheap. Nice.
