The great thing about cycling is how affordable it is. Once you’ve got your bike there are very few extra costs.
One estimate puts the costs for insurance, maintenance and bike gear at just £225 per year, that’s compared to £1,250.18 per year for fuel costs alone (based on a small car driving an average of 10,000 miles a year) That works out as a saving of a whopping £1,025.18!
If that really doesn’t sound like much, here’s what you could get for that money:
1x 7 night all-inclusive holiday for 2 in a 5 star hotel in Egypt, plus spending money while you’re there.
6x Indulgent pampering days at a spa of your choice
A week’s worth of three course meals, including champagne, at some of Nottingham’s most prestigious restaurants.
Or
73x pairs of adult tickets to the cinema – that’s enough to go at least once a week, or 6 times a month, for a whole year!
And, of course, cycling keeps you fit, which saves you the cost of going to the gym – what could be better?
