lucmccann Posted January 23, 2014 Share I remember a little while ago seeing a thread that asked Hubbers to state how much they earned per month, that got me thinking, how much do you spend per month on cycling or cycling related activities? Now this can include race entries, spares, parts, your coffee stops, beer and burger right after your ride, kit...basically everything besides your transport to the race or place you going to ride (because that would be a completely inconsistent variable) I can comfortably say I spend between R1500 - R2000 per month...sometimes probably more...

Tuxstir Posted January 23, 2014 Share I would say, I don't spend enough..How can you put a price for the sanity I find on two wheels, the joys of been free, Cycling helps me find my balance, relaxes me, how can you put a price on thatAnd The fact that the money I spend would probably end up in medical bills if I didn't cycle, lucmccann, Sidewinder., mtbsmurf and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted January 23, 2014 Share I guess if you get really into it and take into consideration fuel to events and accommadation, I sometimes spend 5000 and more. Heading up to the Herald next week from Cape Town, fuel, accom, entry fee, quite expensive. But worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted January 23, 2014 Share I started cycling almost exactly one year ago, I've spent about R40 000 on it since... Will probably spend around that amount this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share I can't remember the last time I spent anything on cycling. I paid for the 24hr in December if that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-Zulu Posted January 23, 2014 Share It's a deep dark pit, once you believe you should spend more on better components, rather than training harder and harnesing the potential of your selected steed!

If I was not cycling already, your pitch would have sold me. Very well put. I can relate to every point you have made. ichops and lucmccann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Posted January 23, 2014 Share I can comfortably say I spend between R1500 - R2000 per month...sometimes probably more... I can comfortably say I spend close to R0/month. And I ride two hours a day mon-fri, and at least 8 hours on a weekend. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
