How much per mile does your bike cost?

It would cost me £900 to use the bus and take 3 times longer. Cycling has paid for itself in terms of money and time.

Whenever I click 'New Posts' there seems to be someone asking questions about upgrading something, or replacing something. It seems that modern components have sacrificed longevity in exchange for lightness.

Given all this expenditure, how much do you reckon your bike costs per mile?

This is a good question....never really thought about how it costs me.....i don't like to skimp on anything my bike needs ....my Galaxy is 8 years old so i couldn't really estimate how I've spent keeping it roadworthy and don't grudge a penny but i tend to on my car.....my motto is look after your bike and it will look after you
