After having a not-so-good running week, I am so happy that I was able to tackle a tough workout this morning.
I biked a tough, hilly course this morning for 1 1/2 hours. Then, finished with a slow jog for 10 minutes.
I have a 5K in less than 2 weeks and a triathlon in one month.
It's tough going.

Sorry, it took me so long to respond. As far as the costs, the upfront costs are what you have to prepare for. If you want a road bike (aka racing bike), then you will be buying an expensive bike and the clips and the shoes and a mileage computer. If you get a good "bike guy", then usually, some maintenance issues may be free, such as air and lube jobs.
However, my very first bike was reasonably priced and it's the one I ride the most. I had had it for 10 years before I needed a new back tire- pretty cheap. It's just a trail bike, barely what is considered a hybrid by today's models. I would love to upgrade, but have a hard time justifying it.
I DID justify spending more on my road bike because I knew that one day my body won't want to run anymore. This way I'll always have biking.0
