You don't need to pay money to others to get to a level of basic bike fitness. Just go and ride the bike. But if you want to compete seriously or have some focused objectives, then yes, spend away.

Not to criticise anyone but just a general comment on how we spend our wealth.
<rant>
In the past, we cleaned our own house and did our exercises, and everyone's happy. Nowadays, it's amazing how many households in the inner city and surround employ cleaners to clean their house and pay trainers in local parks for that bit of exercise. Why?
If there's any good that'll come out of this current financial crisis, it'll be getting people back to some financial sense and reestablish a bit of self-reliance and not live in excess and perpetuate that wealth bubble.

Yep. Coogee to North Bondi and back coast walk - there's simply no better way to walk off some calories whilst pigging-out on eye-candy. Shame it's not a shared bicycle path.ni78ck wrote: should of just gone for a walk and a perv!
