I used to pay £40 a month and train 3-4 times a week
Then we had a kid, and decided we couldn’t afford the gym fees or the time, so I dug out my old Scott Impulse for exercise purposes.
In the 7 years since, this money/time saving scheme has involved
Guess RB1 (since sold)
Merlin Malt 1 (since sold)
Ribble winter bike (since sold)
Ribble winter frame in a smaller size (since sold)
Cotic Soul (now on it’s second build)
Santa Cruz Blur frame (since sold)
Spesh Roubaix
Ribble winter bike with compact geometry (since sold)
Kona Dew
Plus assorted accessories, spare parts and clothing
Gym membership was a bargain……
And I’m riding about 10-12 hors a week, most of it commuting though
