Poor man's form of transport?

You're clearly not spending enough on your bikes. It's an economical way to travel however i doubt that is the main factor people ride a bike, and once you have more than one any economy goes out the window.

You have no seen my garage mate .. *m*f has there is a whole garage of random bike kit. not shiny stuff mind you just old brakes, gear, levers etc but most of it is usable and about 15 of 20 wheels both racing and mountain bike that have been collected over the years.

I think I have spent over £4000 over the years keeping my bikes going. Which isn't a small sum considering I am in my first job outside uni and I spend a fuck load on booze.

I have four bikes now I think .. fuck I have lost count .. and I still save money. Even my nicest bike isn't that flashy but all of them run very reliably.
