I'm not sure what you mean. were you addressing my post?

I mean as a winter sport compared to skiing. Cheaper than a lot of gym memberships. They add up over time very quickly. Plus you can't use skis in the summer. The bike is all year around use, and lasts a long time without much money spent on upkeep. Compared to driving to a ski area, having a room, skiing and then coming home. Even just day skiing. I have spent nothing in the last four years on Winter cycling. The cost of getting started can be a little higher than entry level skis, but there is not much ongoing cost.

I don't mean compared to other types of cycling.
