<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadMartigan, post: 1954859, member: 58925&quot;]Running is free except you go through 3-4 pairs of shoes a year at $70/80 a pop, swimming is free except you gotta pay to go to the pool or get a gym membership with one, biking is free when you have the bike (my bike is probably worth more than my car though) except you got buy tubes and co2 every time you get a flat and if you ride a lot (I&#039;ve already ridden 2500 miles this year) you gotta replace your tires and chain every 6 months which can run $150-200 plus tune ups and replacing brakes and any other small things you might need like nutrition so you can survive a 3-4 hour bike ride like gu or shot blocks or cliff bars or carborocket fuel drink. </p><p><br /></p><p>And like anything else you always want something new maybe a helmet or cycling jersey or new cycling shorts or new accessories for your bike or new bar tape or new cycling gloves or you find you need a light set for when it&#039;s dark during yet winter or you want a cycling computer.&nbsp; Then you start doing races and races are expensive (a half ironman runs $200-300 and a full ironman $600-700 just for the registration). </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a slippery slope for sure an expensive slippery slope.&nbsp; Just like coins maybe you started off buying a $1 buffalo nickel because it was cool looking next thing you know you just forked over $200 for a twenty cent piece or a standing liberty quarter or a trade dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
