Cost of cycling (and other hobbies) crisis?

Wity such a looming and real cost of living crisis, are we about to see a real reduction in available disposable income? Couple that with higher prices post pandemic, the peak of *how much* you can spend on a bike or kit and the increased cost of travel to get to many MTB venues or routes. We were chatting this morning about the cost of our other sports - hill walking, canoeing, road/touring cycling Vs MTB costs. All our other activities are cheaper and/or kit lasts longer. Travel is the one thing we still do a lot (too much) of...but perhaps we need to use public transport more. Could we see the boom mid-pandemic become a collapse of sales? Are people going to 'trim thier cloth'…?

I’m more amused at the fact that a sign of wealth these days is to turn the heating up to full blast!

I know ****ing peasants.

Have you got a link to buy said cashmere codpiece?

Hold tight rude boy there will be a STW discount code for the Least Weasel size.
