Lol….gross expenditures @ approx $8500-9000 for 3 bikes, a TLD, bike parts, biking clothes, etc.
net expenditures are considerably less….maybe $3200.

I don't like to keep track but for everything that I buy, I'm usually selling something that makes up part of the cost.

That's how I justify it to myself.

About $5,500 with the new bike purchase :D. And I don't justify it at all.

all investing is is a type of arbitrage, and thats not gambling. theres an element of risk and potential of profit involved, but those are broad and dont qualify somthing as gambling.

most Christians I know, myself included, would say that science is the way through which we learn about everything that God has created, but we learn at the pace which he sets for us.

This year I have spent ~300 dollars. I just put an order in for some new stuff that will up that to a total of ~1300 for the other stuff and some new wheels, stem, post and saddle. Once I sell the wheels that are being replaced, that will drop down to ~800. Not too bad.
