Probably a combination would best describe it.

My problem is, I went into the bike shop not even expecting to buy a bike, and when I started looking at them, I figured I'd spend about $1K and be done with it. Well, as of last night, I think I'm over $7K, (picked up a yakima bike rack that plugs into my Land Rovers hitch, + locks for it, + gloves, + new helmets, etc.) and rising. Why didn't anyone warn me? There is a whole wardrobe that goes along with this stuff too! Tonight I am picking up some SIMI shoes (Add $150 + for that easy) that clip into the pedals (not sure i like the idea of being locked into the pedals offroad, but I am told they are easy to step out of when needed). Picking up the second bike too, but its a drive to go get that one, so I will have to try out my new Yakima bike rack. Anyway, I don't see an end yet. Is there an end to bike accesories?
