Saving Money with Sport

In these harsh economic times it’s worthwhile considering every possible outlet when it comes to cost cutting and sport can lend a hand. Go for a run instead of going to the gym, playing football in the park rather than paying pitch fees or cycling to work instead of driving.

The latter mentioned is perhaps the most commonly taken option when it comes to cutting costs and through a bit of exercise in there for good measure. Motoring costs are soaring as the price of petrol gets higher and those insurance premiums never seem to drop year after year. However, the price of buying bicycles has dropped and you’ll be able to pick up one for much less than you thought.

The beauty of the internet is that products are available faster and cheaper, this is certainly the case if you buy bicycles online too. Search through thousands of options online that are right for you, you’ll also find plenty of accessories including helmets, footwear and reflective stickers and lights for night travellers.

Depending on which routes you take to work, or whether you want a bicycle for leisure reasons, then you can choose from mountain bikes to tricycles if you wanted when searching online. The main thing is to choose something that suits your requirements as you may not need to spend that extra amount on all the ‘bells and whistles’ if they are going to be of no use.

Of course biking might not be the best alternative to cut costs if you are embarking on a 10 mile journey to work every morning, unless you’re a keen biker, but for city dwellers and those with not too far to travel it could be the ideal solution.
