A cartoon: Cycling on a budget. Summarising just a small amount of the info you'll find on budgetcycling.uk. (Image from the book 'From A to B', by Dave Walker, published by Bloomsbury.)

Keep your bike clean, especially the drive train, and learn how to lubricate it properly. Worn parts are expensive to replace; lube and bike cleaner are cheap. Loads of useful videos on YouTube. Learn basic maintenance (eg how to repair a puncture, check tyre pressure, and check your brakes).

Good tip - thanks Helen.
