Good call. I recently started cycling. I spent my *budget* on the best
bike I could afford, then realised I was only half way there!
Extra's so far have totalled ~200ukp (mainly the clothing/protective
gear) :-(
I still haven't bought lights for winter, or the cycling shoes and SPD
peddles I now am finding that I really do NEED.
Then there is the cycling computer/monitor, storage rack, training
rack, the list is endless....and it all costs an awful lot more than
you expect.
As I am finding, this activity, although great fun, can make a big
hole in your pocket.
