Yep, I do that. Although if I can ride, I find it that much easier to buy stuff for the bike. It's surprising to me how much I spend on the bike, yet I rarely upgrade it. For instance in the last month or so:
1. Tires. Old ones were worn out
2. A bunch of tubes. I have been plagued by flats lately. Actually I went back to patching to save $
3. Gloves. Old ones started falling apart
4. Chain. Old one had 10k miles on it. When I went to change it my old chain tool broke, therefore:
5. Chain tool.
Then with the new chain the cogs started slipping so then:
6. Cassette
7. Brake pads
8. Saddle. Old one was worn out. Lots of miles on it. But now with a new one my butt hurts, so:
9. Shorts. That will be today's buy, maybe that'll help my butt
10. New jersey. I'm powerless when it comes to a jersey that I like. But I've only got 6 or 7. Thats not so bad....is it??
10. Endless supply of powerbars, hammergels, gatorade, etc.
There's probably more, but I've blanked it out. One reason I always enjoyed biking is cause it is cheap!
Still on the list for me:
New bottle cages. The old wire ones just dont have bling value
I'm waiting for the shifters to wear out so I can go from 9 to 10 speed
Ok, guys...fess up!
