    Like most any hobby, you can spend as much on it as you like. But the bike coop in your city will probably sell a perfectly-serviceable used commuter to you on a need-based sliding scale all the way down to $20, if not totally free.

    As for legs… They’re nice, but I’ve ridden my bicycle 110+ miles in like 8 hours. That’s a massive quantitative difference, and a huge impact on quality of life for someone who needs to get around.

      I do agree and I did got my own bike for free from trash pile through her connections to local biking community.

      But she is making full use of the specialized equipment and bikes so i will not fault her for doing it.
