Boy, you've got that right! Once you get the bike and basics.

The clothes have a way of lasting forever. I have jerseys 25 years old and still wear them.

The bikes are relatively cheap and last forever. A $500 bike is perfectly fine for most things, and at that price, cost less than the average pair of skis ... which is just a few layers of fiberglass and metal glued together. And then you have to buy boots.
