Wealth Warning?

[pershore]

As one recently returned to cycling I am wondering if cycles should come with a "Wealth Warning"?
I acquired a cycle cheaply enough. But it needed new tyres, so I thought, why not fit new tubes as well? Then the brakes needed some attention, so replaced them. Of course need a pump to take with me. Lights were a good idea. A tool bag and a few tools seemed sensible. Now wondering about a mirror, and bell or hooter? This was supposed to be cheap local transport! Does this affliction of spending on the bike come to an end!

Ermm, not really, it is a conveyor belt of expense.

No it's a bottomless pit of expense!

At the bottom of which is a Rapha catalogue and a shovel.

Put the bike back in the shed and walk away if you ever want a healthy bank balance again.

There is a reason while cycle shops are called 'dealers'.

Second cycle? Yep, got one already! Work stand? Now you are putting temptation in my path!

This is what you should carry with you when out for a ride.

Naturally you will need a more comprehensive tool kit at home

Looks like I might need a trailer as well!
