Budgeting and Planning for UK Cycling

Cycling in the UK offers tremendous value for money compared to running a car or using public transport, but the costs can still add up if you are not keeping track. Between equipment purchases, maintenance consumables, event entries, and the occasional cafe stop, it helps to have a clear picture of what you are spending. Our commute savings calculator shows you exactly how much you could save by swapping your car or train journey for two wheels — factoring in fuel, parking, insurance, and the current cost of rail season tickets.

For those building up a bike or upgrading components, the equipment budget calculator helps you allocate funds across categories so you are not overspending on one area while neglecting another. The component life calculator estimates replacement intervals for chains, cassettes, tyres, and brake pads based on your riding mileage, which is invaluable for spreading costs throughout the year. If you are riding the Cycle to Work scheme, understanding your annual cycling cost helps you assess whether the tax savings justify the commitment.

Planning a cycling tour or holiday? The tour budget calculator helps you estimate daily costs for accommodation, food, and transport across UK destinations — from the Scottish Highlands to the coast-to-coast routes. For competitive riders, the race entry calculator totals up sportive fees, travel, and overnight stays so there are no surprises come event season.
