kane springs campground on kane creek road, for the tent only spaces $5 a night.
across the street there is a jeep trail, when you ride/hike your bike to the top you find a DH bike park, and the moab rim trail (ive never ridden it) there is also a ski lift up to it on the other side, but you are saving money by hiking. you can bike up most of it, but since it is a jeep trail some would require hiking.
obviously there is slickrock too.

Well there's a camp ground on Sand Flats Road that (I think) costs only
three dollars a night. That's where I always stay.

Depends on what you want out of your riding. Slick Rock probably has the
most history to it and is fairly challenging all around. The White Rim has
wonderful scenery and isn't very technical but it's long. There are two (I
think) downhill places where you can take a ski lift up then ride back down
in the style common to that, though I don't know much about that because
I'm not that sort of rider.

Well it can all be done very cheaply.

How are you going to get there, magic carpet? The last time I
checked, travel costs money.

We camped on the CO River at a campsite we found in the dark, in the middle
of a hurricane. Woke up to an impressive location, to say the least.
Think it was $5. To save that, pull over, sleep in your car.

You could save more money still by making it a spiritual pilgrimage and
eschew eating by choosing to fast the whole time. Water's free at the gas
stations, and a spigot that comes out of the hill NE of town, "Bridal
Springl(?)."

Spoze you could hitch hike there, too, with your bike on your shoulder,
soze to save gas costs.

You can probably hit most of the high points in 3 days if you're a strong
rider. Hard to recommend trails, since we don't know how
good/fit/daring/etc., you might be. More people are surprised by how hard
the riding is, rather than how easy, fwiw.

associated with staying home.

I used to work with a guy who was an ex hitchiker / longhair in the
early 70s (or thereabouts).

he used to tell me tales of bumming rides hundreds of miles, and going
into coffee shops when hungry and making a meal out of tomato soup (hot
water + ketchup + a little salt & pepper), saltine crackers, and water.

I probably would have tried this once upon a time "just because". only
one problem...I hate tomato soup. then again ramen seems like a
perfectly cheap way to go if you don't want to pay any real money for food.

But magnifying glasses cost money too. (Oh, not if you shoplift one I
guess.)
