My newest bike was bought in January and so far has cost me about 250p per mile ..
At that cost you should give up cycling and take the car instead!
All except one of my bikes are secondhand (the new one was £72 about 34 years ago), the cheapest being free and the most extravagant costing £20. Then I add on the cost of anything I've bought for any bike such as tyres to get the thing to a reliable rideable condition. Depreciation is really a non-event with the sort of bikes I've got, so I only consider the per-mile cost of replacing the consumable stuff that wears out, not the cost of the bike itself - as I could sell any of mine for at least as much as they owe me. It's just a small amount of cash tied up in bikes, but they'll never fall in value below their secondhand cost.
