Torker 24" $100 upgrades $90 apparel $80 trials uni $190

all of those include shipping.

so $460(usd) Ive been in this for 4 years this july. I am
amazed at how people that have barely been riding a year can
want a brand new unicycle and not just upgrades.

That seems like overcompensation. So what about other stuff
you had to buy for yourself to keep even? :-)

Hmm,

I started unicycling over 25 years ago. Still I've probably
spent less than many here (and I'm not nearly the rider I
should be for spending that much time riding)

It's impossible to say for sure but I'd bet that since I
started riding I've spent less than $2500.

Many of my first unicycles were either free of very
cheap. They had, for the most part been discarded by the
previous owners.

My very first unicycle was homemade from free parts of a
large childrens tricycle.

I'd certainly like to spend more, but as they say:
"you've got to make money to spend money" (or is it the
other way around?)

What! You guys have to be crazy to post on this thread. I
would never, ever, try to figure out how much I'm in to
unicycling for. Not only I do not want to know but, sure
enough, my goddess of a wife would happen across the thread
and then the fun would be over. As for now, she is very
comforatbale knowing that my Wilder/Profile/CF-air seat/Gazz
set-up cost me $89. She hasn't asked directly how much it
has cost US but she hears me telling people how much Torkers
cost and she just assumes that this is the same sort of
thing. I'm cool with that, too.

I'm a pretty cheap [censored]

$15 for a used Miyata Flamingo $30 for Pr1mo super
tenderizer pedals $55 in tubes, tires, duct tape, WD-40,
paper towels, root beer, and neosporin

So, that's about $100. Of course, There's been at least $250
exchanged on my behalf for several unicycles, and cranks,
but I'm cheap.

Personally for my wife this Hobby is a bargain compared to
some of my others. I had to step away from upgrading my Jeep
for a while. One of my friends bought the same Jeep I have
last year. He spent about $26,000 new. Then with all the
upgrades he is in for about $18,000 more conservatively.
This is without even touching the engine. Cheap upgrades are
$200-$300. So relatively speaking Uni cost nothing.

Keeping up with the Jones's is alot easier on the wallet on
this forum that it is on the Jeep forums.

Equipement I may have $1,200 3 people Trip to NAUCC another
$1,000 3 people (sort of mini vacation)

Not bad for 10 months. Won't need another Uni for a while.
Three were gifts. Birthday KH24, Christmas Summit 20,
Daughters birthday 12inch Torker Sealth 24 inch and 20 inch
(One mine, one wifes.)

Assorted pads, Camel Back, tools, Shirt, Shorts, Tires
etc...

*Hey! I know that there was a poll posted not to long ago
about how many unicycles people have. But what I am
wondering is how much money you have invested since you
got into the sport? Rounding numbers will be fine.... This
should be interesting.... *

Oh oh, this is a bad thread for me. :eek:

You can go through the 'Uni Count thread'
(tinyurl.com3248fOpen ↗) and get a good idea how much some
people have spent on unicycles. However, the Uni Count
thread won't take into account the costs for equipment like
pads, helmets, upgraded seats, upgraded pedals, new tires,
cycling clothing, shoes, etc.
