Bicycles are one of the few things I spend money on these days, but I have been lucky to get quite a few for free. For some reason people discard a lot of bicycles at my local dump. I have found some real classics to refurbish. Some I keep and some I have redistributed to family and friends.
Pretty much all of my transportation budget now goes to just keeping my bicycle in good working order at this point and it's saved me a crazy amount of money (never mind the health benefits of regular activity). Also, I've been through a lot in my personal life and have found riding to be pretty therapeutic/good at keeping me from getting too sad.
