In total it is around 700 euros for the first year of use, right?

For that amount of money I'd go for a bicycle like this:

City : Kross Seto

(that is around 450 euros)

Or even a cheaper, v-brake bicycle. Put some fenders, rack...



Having said this, my BSO - the MTB I got for free and fiexed tyres, seat, pedals - has cost me around 115 e for the first few months of riding. And I should have gone for a bit better front brake - so it will probably be another 30 euros for a decent Shimano Acera brake and lever. But I hope this will be OK for the next few months.


400 km - 115 euros.
