OK, now I am obsessed with my bicycle. I keep going back to the bike
shop to look at things.

Compared to a lot of other sports, cycling is cheap. You don't have to
pay entrance fees or buy gas, etc. A new bike can be pricey, but it
lasts a long time (possibly your lifetime). The only parts that wear
out frequently are the tires and chain, but they can be cheap if you
don't want the very best. If you hand wash your clothes, they will
usually drip-dry overnight so you can use them again the next day.

I toss mine in the washer and start it as soon as I enter
from the garage. Cold water, about an ounce of liquid
detergent, let it spin, hang it on the railing to dry out,
no dripping involved.

Spandex is virtually indestructible under designed usage.
Some of my stuff easily has over 10K miles on it, and
still feels like new after 12 years in the closet.
