Running is cheap?! :noway: :laugh:
Yep. Compared to cycling, it's basically free.
$300 for shoes every year... vs $200 for a bike...
And yeah, I know you could spend more for a bike, but you can spend more for shoes too..
For the casual athlete, biking is less expensive.
What can you get (except maybe an older road bike) for $200?
I like them both equally, I can't ride outside all year 'round (I'm not one of those crazy Canucks that rides outside when it's -40) but I can, ad do, run winter & summer.
Walmart, Target, etc Lasts 12-18 months.
People who would ride a $200 bicycle would probably also buy $2 flip-flops for running.2 -

I would ride a $200 bicycle. and I wear $120 sneakers.
I rode a $95 bicycle for a year in Afghanistan, put $20 in parts into it, and sold it for $75 when I left.2 -
Cardio right after I wake up, that way my brain isn't up yet to realize how much I hate cardio.
I live weight lifting!!! If my body could handle it and I didn't have other responsibilities, I'd spend all day lifting2 -

I don't need a gym membership, I don't have to pay a class fee, and I don't *have* to pay for registration for races if I don't race. I need shoes anyway, and wear normal clothes. So, yeah, as exercise goes, it's cheap.
Edited to quote the correct post.0 -
As long as it is OUTSIDE!, biking, roller blading,kangoo jumps, stand up paddle boarding, snowshoeing, skating, ANYTHING, new things every day!1
-
I tend to enjoy any exercise I can do if I don't hurt myself doing it. I don't like injuries.1
-
Kayaking, biking, snow shoeing0
-
I swam and roller skated for summer. Now I'm kayaking and cycling. When it cools off some more I'll get back into trail running. I'd like to learn to ski and ice skate this winter. I also lift weights, but don't really enjoy it. Lifting just makes my butt look great.0
-
I started indoor bouldering as a way to mix up my workouts, as well as socialize with friends. I absolutely love it and don't know how I went so long without discovering climbing.0
-
Running. It's cheap - ish. I do tend to splurge on shoes, though.0
-
Cycling, rock climbing, Olympic weight lifting...1
-
Ballet, contemporary, and yoga
1 -
Cycling mostly with occasional running and boxing classes.0
-
Swimming! Then any water class. Then cycling. I do the bodyweight strength training but I hate every second of it. I envy those of you who enjoy lifting b/c I know I need the strength work but ugh ugh1

I disagree... I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. A "causual athlete" isn't going to go get fitted for shoes and buy 2 pairs of high end shoes each year, but then buy a off-the-floor department store bike. They'll go to a bike shop and get a low end bike, which will probably cost $400-$600 minimum. They are either going to get both target shoes and a target bike, or they're going to get shoes from a running store and a bike from a bike shop.
100% agree with you. My dad did both and I only run. But I think biking is more costly.
Running shoes for me at 150 a pair and I get news one about 3 times a year. Biking for my dad was easily 3000 on a bike, and then tire replacements, tools, maintenance on the bike. Sure, the bike lasts a lot longer, but for 3000 dollars I'd have enough shoes for a few years.
Aside from running, I'm a kettle bell nut. Love snatches and turkish get ups in particular.0 -

Ugmm, $200 would buy your bike's shoes, aka tires, lol.0 -
Cycling and ice hockey for me. I'm blessed to live where i can ride year around!0
-
Boxing0
-
Trail marathon and ultra running, road cycling and swimming0
-
Cycling in beautiful countryside is good for my soul as well as my body.3
-
Lifting, trail running. That may change soon, though... Beacause I got a kayak! Yeeeeaah!1
-
Benching all day every day. Everything else is a bench accessory.2

I see your burns, so I know you go at it hard
I'm somewhat the same although I'm fine with some indoor stuff too.
Tennis, strength training, walking/golf, running (if my body allows it), rowing, swimming, elliptical, SUPing, kayaking, and aerobic DVDs is my list atm.

Lol, certainly not for me it isn't £100 for new trainers every 3-4 months (have 2 pairs in rotation), running clothes (constantly replacing as I lose weight), race entries.....0 -
Longer distance running, weight training, high intensity classes and PT sessions and anything that really pushes me to my limits.0

Cycling0

Um ... you'd be hard pressed to find a decent bicycle for $200. Entry level is about $700.
