2010 new years resolution was to keep a track of spend on biking....
So including new components clothing servicing and taking into account parts I,ve sold on, I,ve spent £1519 this year. Actually quite surprised at the amount.
I did neglect to include the trip to morzine but that's a different budget 
How about you?
Couple of "bigger ticket" things than the usual spares etc:
a bike-science fitting session for Mrs S and me was £260. But I reckon money well worth spending - esp for Mrs S.
The noodly jeff jones Ti truss forks were a £400ish birthday present to myself.
Probably another £600-700 on parts and spares over the year including:
New SLX brakes £120
sub-deore brakes £50
Monstercross experiment c£150
Eriksen Ti post £90
New shoes £50
Brake pads, inners, outers, grips etc something like £100
and probably around £30 on some new allen keys and a 24mm cone spanner for the XT 20mm front hub.
So all in all, one of my less expensive years 
(EDIT and since I gave up smoking 30 a day 6 years ago, I reckon Im still in the money - 350 x £6.50 a pack x 1.5 = £3,400 a year )
About £500.
Probably about £500.
Not much this time. Two tyres, a chain, a chain device, 2 sets of brake pads, a seatpost.
Not much this year, but due to significant recent failure I can see next year being expensive.
'bout £500 this year too - Maxle Rebas, a spare frame, 1 complete drivetrain (8spd FTW!), mech hanger, SLX disc brakes, a flow/proII wheel & 3 maxxis tyres. (oh and £7 on a muckynutz fender this week)
haven't bought anything for DH, BMX, commuter or roadbikes or any bike clothing/pointless accessories all year
Including three weeks in the Alps and numerous trips in UK, quite a lot I reckon. Probably £2-3k net.
Next year will be considerably cheaper.
I have kept all the receipts, but I dare not add them up, probably around £1k and I haven't even had a new bike this year.
About £600.
New rings, headset, 2 bb's, cassette & chain for the MTB.
Full drivetrain and wheels for the road bike.
Pair of shoes & a rucksack.
Probably about 1k. Having a shop and getting stuff at trade doesn't save any money, it just means I spend more getting stuff I probably wouldn't consider if I was paying retail prices.
Hope wheelset and brakes, Exposure Toro and single battery, SDG Formula I-Beam saddle, a few tyres/brakepads/chains, XTR cassette, Candy pedals cw Ti axles and then clothes - Fox helmet, gloves * 2, Windchill jacket, waterproof shell, Sealskinz socks * 2
Plus fork service.
And many, many cakes and snacks, beers, car-parks and a far number of (car) miles.
A couple of grand at least, but divided across the (at least) twice a week rides - feels good value.
And I've only one mtb.
More than my wife thinks, less than I wanted..... 
b r - MemberXTR cassette
You mean people actually buy them? 8 years in the trade and that's news to me.
Please come down to Totton and see me b r. I'll be your best friend.
For ever.
More than my wife thinks, less than I wanted.....
I'd guess £2K - includes new wheels, forks, bars, stem, cranks, chains, cassettes, bearings, tools, lights, tyres, brakes, rear mech, shiters, pads, knee pads, gloves, softshell, cyclocroos bike, bike for the wife, kids bikes, tubes, patches, oil, pedals etc!
About £40 - new cleats, a couple of inner tubes and some energy gels.
I'd have to ride the bloody thing more than half a dozen times a year to justify spending any money on it.
few hundred at a guess, new XT cassette, chainrings and chain for the MTB, a couple of brake pads for the road bike, two sets of tyres for the road bike, a new set of Castelli shorts, some chain lube, over shoes,
I really do need to get a new chain and cassette for the road bike at some point, but i can probably get it through the winter, then put some nice shiny bits on for the summer.
9 quid on some new grips.
Wow, I rather embarrassed about this, I never realised it was so much.
Total purchased this year. *I must add a couple have been presents.
*Giant TCX 1 - £1500
*Mavic Wheels - £600
Helmet - £180(2)
Mtb shoes - £180
Road Shoes - £180
Podium Shoes - £100
Bib Tights - £90
Cycling Shirts - £49.99(5)
Various other - £300 approx
About £3500.
Sorry, sounds like I'm willy waving, but I'm not. Because of this I now have a very unhealthy bank balance. 
I made money this year.
Sold MTB = £1300ish
Bought 2nd hand road bike plus pedals/shoes/bits and bobs = £800ish
You mean people actually buy them? 8 years in the trade and that's news to me.
Please come down to Totton and see me b r. I'll be your best friend.
For ever.
No pockets in a shrould.
Oh and a carbon hardtail frameset - £500
Like to think it was under 2k but it's probably over 4k. New road bike for mrs blobby. A frame, new set of wheels and some Rev RLT Ti forks for me, and probably enough bits to build up a new bike (bars, stem, XT chainset, new brakes, a pair of chain devices, mech and chain, dropper post.). Also two sets of tyres and assorted spares and some roadie clothing. Hmm then there was the trip to Morzine...
Baby on the way next year so expect spending to vastly reduced!
Edit: like to add that none of it was really top end kit and pretty much everything was in some way discounted, still seems a lot though 
Few hundred k.
About £250 probably, not that much mainly because I haven't really done much mountain biking this year. When I was going out pretty much every weekend a couple of years back I was on CRC 2 or 3 times a month, without much MTB it's more like 2 or 3 times a year!
Anyway, this year I think I've bought:
1 new tyre for road bike
Gear cable set for road bike
Brake cable set for road bike
1 set brake pads for road bike
2 sets brake pads for MTB
1 rear light for road bike
Bar tape for road bike
Chain for commuter
Gloves
So not really much 'new' stuff, mostly repair/replace.
EDIT: Forgot new rear wheel for road bike (Hope RS Mono) so more like £400+.
Hmmm don't want to add it up
S-Works FSR frame
Rev World Cups
Hope Evo's on stans
Hope Tech Mono M4's
Spesh command post
Middleburn X-Type duo
Chain cassette etc
some tyres for Alps trip
661 pads
Oh and a new full face after the Alps trip!!!
But
I did sell
A Stumpy FSR Pro frame
A pair of Float RL's
Hope XC/mavic 717's
Hope Mono M4's
