More expensive hobby.. Golf or cycling?

Golf you have constant green fees but avid cyclists pay for races or centuries or club rides and helmets and spandex kits and shoes and GPS and there's always something needing replaced on a bike.

You can get into cycling for much less than golf, but it's also easier to rack up massive expenses in cycling if you want to (this is assuming you're not counting a country club membership)

Have you seen how much new bikes run? Over 10k.

Cycling is definitely gayer than golf

Now this is debatable, it all depends on boats and property I guess.

Hunting is way more than golf.

Not the way you play golf baw

There are dues and/or green fees with golf plus clubs, carts, beer, etc. With cycling, you just buy your gay outfit and your bike to use while annoying motorists and you are done. Is it that hard to figure out?

I spend 2-3 bills a month.
No big deal.

i bought a steel-frame American handmade bike Gunnar Roadie used in great shape with pedals and good components, for under $400. Similar buy with a mountain bike.
Spent a little more for helmet, shoes, and maintenance/repair tools/stand/supplies. Used multi-bike rack.
For well under $1500, I can ride pretty much anywhere, any time. I don't need to pretend I'm the world's best at exercising and shave fractions of seconds off my time.

That's not bad, I figured you were spending that in a weekend

Outside of a few grand on a good bike, what exactly are the reoccurring costs associated with cycling?
Posted on 8/6/15 at 6:04 pm to djangochained
Naw.
Two rounds, maybe one a week.

Biking higher initial cost, golf higher over time

I already hunt and fish so maybe I shouldn't start golfing
