What are the biggest wastes of money in biking?
I've had the same $2 water bottle for 3 years now. I use it all the time, both as ride bottle and when I'm just at home so I always have water at my side, no need to run to the fridge.
The biggest waste of money in cycling is crashing. It can both cost you lots of money in medical bills, destroyed equipment or worse, permanent damage to your body or even death. 2nd waste of money in cycling is buying equipment on credit or installments or breaking the bank. If you can't easily afford something in cash and the price puts a dent on your savings, then don't buy it.
Not wasting money is simply avoid crashing and avoid stretching your budget.
