There are a hundred reasons why cyclists choose their machine over a car or motorbike. Some treasure the fact that they're getting fitter mile by mile, some like to protect the environment by refusing to burn fossil fuels just to get around, while others claim there's a certain purity to getting everywhere under your own steam. However, the more into the sport you get, the more tempting it is to splash out and buy a serious bike, whether you love chunky, down-and-dirty mountain bikes, a city-solid BMXs, or sleek felt bikes that eat up the tarmac. It can be expensive to update your bike, but there are plenty of ways to save money.

Firstly, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. One of the best things about being a cyclist is that if you're dedicated enough, you can do a surprising amount of upkeep on your machine yourself. Taking them apart, putting them back together, and swapping and updating pieces can be the best way to get to grips with them, and it should be a pleasure as well as a way to save money. It can also help you save when buying; buying a good clean frame new and loading it up with parts from your old ...
... bike is how many pros made their first big update. From felt bikes to mountain bikes, you can also keep a frame for longer if you're sufficiently hands on, because you can update bits as they go, or as you become able to afford the upgrades! Get on a course at a local college, check your library for bike maintenance books, and don't forget to get on the 'net: Youtube is a great source of insider bike building informations, and their step-by-step video guides are all but idiot-proof.
