Just keep track of as much expenditures of your bicycle in the garage entry versus how much distance travelled. For example, if you spent $220 on a new road bike, $22 on a speedometer, and $10 on other accessories, the total amount invested would be $252. If you keep the bike for just 6 months, your cost of ownership is $42 a month (comparable to just 1 gas fill-up of a small car).
Then let's say you go all out and put 5-kms a day on the bike for those 6 months. Not counting the food energy costs, your total transportation expense would just be $0.28/kilometre ridden.

We dont mind spending potentially thousands of dollars on a vehicle, yet I am afraid to invest into a 2nd bike.

And keep in mind that the more you scrimp on spending money on a bike, the faster the $/distance falls as you use it. That's my incentive here on EM
