How It Works

Cycling is cheap per kilometer compared to driving, but costs add up. The biggest ongoing expenses are tires ($60-100 per set, every 3,000-5,000 km), chains ($20-40, every 2,000-4,000 km), and professional tune-ups ($75-150 each). DIY maintenance saves 50-70% on labor costs. A basic toolkit ($50-100) pays for itself in 1-2 tune-ups. Nutrition (gels, bars, hydration) can be significant for high-volume riders. Depreciation: bikes lose about 10-15% of value per year for the first 3-4 years, then stabilize.
