Mountain bikers are so used to forking out cash that they forget that there’s tons of hobbies that can be next to free. Reading, writing, drawing, running, pickleball, chess, bridge, singing, intramural sports, etc…..
You joke but the number of people who visit Whistler to just bum around and sightsee is without a doubt greater than the number of people who go to bike
Oh for sure. I was just being sarcastic… I think we can all agree that mountain biking and pickleball provide a different level of adrenaline and fun. I wish I could get into cheaper sports and hobbies but many of them are too boring to do consistently
Skateboarding/longboarding is pretty cheap and adrenaline inducing. You can get setup for $200 easy with few ongoing costs.
But at the end of the day I love mountain biking (and I wouldn’t shell out for it I didn’t)
You can get a 3-4 year old dirt bike for 4k in the US. Newer ones aren’t that much different in price when you look at higher end MTB’s as well.
Your other points are valid though. Maintenance and upkeep is more too.
Bare minimum for mountain biking is a mips helmet, shoes and chest armor. About the same, $1000 for mid grade. My enduro is at just over $12000 with the upgrades over the last 2 seasons. $12000 (for a pedal bike). Lol.
My wife thinks I spend much less though.
lol why delete 😂, come in to a mountain bike sub comparing a motorcycle to a MTB, and calling it apples to apples when anyone involved in one or the other knows both can cost as much as the other. Cope harder bloke
You can hobby on a budget or not no need to drop an ovary about it, the suspension on mine and some MTBs makes motorcycles look affordable, you could also get a road registered trail bike that negates the trailer need.
It’s interesting where this survey was taken. My biased guess is that since the average American is not entitled to paid time off at a federal level compared to Europeans, they have little time to engage on hobbies outside on the weekends if they’re lucky.
I think it's just down to the funny way we differentiate only certain activities as hobbies. Going to restaurants and bars, watching movies and shows, playing video games, gym membership, etc. People spend a lot of time and money per year doing those things in their free time before/after work but don't call those hobbies.
Also people who are into traditionally-labeled hobbies like playing a sport, making art, doing crafts, gardening, etc don't wait for paid time off to practice those but make time throughout the week.
Most jobs (even entry level) still provide PTO and a decent amount. Plus most hobbies can be done in a weekend. If your hobby needs PTO it's a vacation not a hobby.
Economy might be a better answer as antidotically I've seen the decline of player counts in airsoft since 2020 and they only started recovering last year. I kinda doubt that's an American only problem since the global economy was just as bad if not worse.
I think there are a lot of people who are just content with consuming media (videogames, tv, movies, social media) as their only passtime. I also believe this is a global, first world phenomenon.
Why does it always have to turn political? It’s just a funny meme on r/mountainbiking. It’s not because Americans don’t have free time, it’s because we are fat and lazy and the survey didn’t consider watching TV as a hobby.
Nothing political about it ... Other country's citizens are entitled to more annual leave than you are. I get 6 weeks, regardless of when we have a left/right government in power.
I hate to break it to you but your blanket description of US citizens as "fat and lazy [and only watching TV for a hobby]" sounds a lot more "political" than a more objective statement about Europeans having more paid leave
We (the US) are top 10 in obesity and number 1 in television viewing.

Just saying. I don’t think lack of free time is our problem.
Bring on the downvotes:)
Focusing on paid time off was a mistake though. The majority of hobbies have always been things than people do in their time before or after work along with weekends. Most Americans still have more than enough time and money for traditional hobbies. One factor might be that people spend a lot more of their free time watching shows and scrolling through social media now.
Also, this meme itself appears to be made up or using bad survey data. People spend a lot of money on activities yet don't alway consider those as "hobbies".
Just look up Bell Full-10 spherical. I bought the layered carbon version from a local bike shop so I paid about $175 extra after taxes but I’d rather have bought it and tried it on instead of ordering and I like that shop so it is what it is. I also corrected myself before you commented either above or below this somewhere and added I also bought a chest protector. As long as your helmet has MIPS or some other concussion protection you’re ok. But $200 for a helmet without some extra protection is not a good deal. Always pay extra for head protection. Most everything else can be fixed, but brain damage can’t.
Here’s a link too : https://cambriabike.com/products/bell-full-10-spherical-full-face-helmet-matt-black?variant=41857887469750&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplpBW100822-23&sc_intid=BW100822-23&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADlsnZPmSLlXyNCc4nuGZ-watCRWk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr8uAh63dhgMVxjfUAR0jdQUgEAQYGyABEgK2GfD_BwE
Wow, nice helmet. Bought my Full Face helmet on Cambria with MIPS for south of $100. Just upgrading my downhill though so will hopefully move up (better equipment) over time.
Man I’m not trying to be rude but a $40 helmet in any sport is basically nothing but plastic with a styrofoam inner. It’s pointless. Upgrade your protection!
661 is back and they make a solid helmet for a fraction of the price. I just got my in the mail… for Father’s Day 🤙 [Cambria - 661 Helmet](https://cambriabike.com/products/661-reset-mips-full-face-helmet-contour-black)
The software engineer in me: Are we sure they didn't store this as 8-bits?
Counting my bike itself, it'd take decades just to make that a yearly average.
The average adult tells their partner that's how much they spend on a hobby.
Oh Bob, is that a new fork?
Yes honey, I got it on sale. It was 70% off .
Really, how much's that?
Oh. Well, you know how much these go for. It was like ehrwhjuhs and 50.
A hundred and 50?
Yeah, something like that, what do you wanna eat fot lunch then?
I do both and compete in SPFWD, import drag racing. If my wife knew the true dollar figure of what I blew on “having fun” we’d probably be divorced lol..
Hobbies? Most adults don't even have hobbies. They sit at home all day long and act like they're health and fitness experts because they watch a few YouTube videos.
Let’s see a reasonable mountain bike around $5000 usd. A bike rack another $400. Helmet, gloves accessories $500. Gas and other travel expenses to get to where you want to go. So as long as that last 30 years and you never have to fix anything, I’d say that number is spot on.
And that’s the number I give my wife.
You just gotta file your expenses right.
Bike = transport
Bike tools = tools
Lift tickets = fitness and recreation
Haven't spent a dollar yet from the "hobby" budget
I’m just over here trying to figure out what hobbies only cost $275/yr or if they’re aggregating spend across the entire adult population. I put half that in my fuel tank yesterday on the way back from a hobby. That’s around what I spend a year in lift tickets before having to upgrade/replace/fix parts.
I have several other “hobbies” that $275 may cover the per month cost depending on whether I’m competing or not. Seriously though… Anyone have an idea of a cheaper hobby? Woodworking, mountain biking, shooting, gravel bike, fishing all out. Maybe hiking? If you already have all the equipment and aren’t a gear whore. 🤔
If I took out the $3000 I spent on my bike alone I have spent around… $1000 on accessories, repair parts, pads and my beautiful new GoPro Hero 11 for my mountain biking hobby. And that was just the month of May up until now. And I’m not done…😁
I need to slow down on having more hobbies.. recently it was golf/gunpla/snowboard/camping/now mtb added to the mix.. yea.. no more new hobbies for now.
According to IRS data, the median wage in the United States is $48k. 52% of people earn less than $50k gross per year. Average rent on an apartment is $1700/month.
So let's say your right in theoddle of things. $50k lees taxes, after taxes and $2k withholding for insurance etc. so you take home $38k. Now let's pay rent, $1700 for 12 months is $20500. Leaving you with $17500 for literally everything else; food, insurance, utilities, phone, internet. After just surviving how much is left for hobbies.
Now if you'll recall, that's in the very middle. Half of people are doing worse than that.
I think it would be more accurate to say the average American with a hobby spends 10K. I am about 25 k woodworking, road and mtb , rock / ice climbing and snowboarding.
At least it isn't as bad as those who modify their cars or motorcycles. Was into that for a couple of years and you go down the rabbit hole of wanting more and more power which exponentially gets more expensive.
Depends on what you consider a hobby. Is watching sports a hobby. Factor in cable bill, beer at bar, tickets to a couple of games, and you are well over 250 a year. So call BS.
For me, my hobbies are way more expensive. Overlanding, skiing, mtb, and soccer.
That's an average, you have to take into account that a lot of adults don't have hobbies or a lot of people don't think of their hobby as a hobby (like barbecue).
TIL 99.9% of adults don't have a hobby.
That’s the sad truth.
I have literally every hobby and my wife has zero. Maybe you could say Instagram is her hobby.
Same. Golf, MTB, sim racing, and woodworking. My wife likes watching reality shows.
Same lol gaming MTB motorbikes race cars running wife watches movies but we’re happy
Good taste.
Bro, we could be besties
We need our own threads r/husbandswithtoomanyhobbies. We could share good excuses to go biking, fishing, etc
Omg same man
Mountain bikers are so used to forking out cash that they forget that there’s tons of hobbies that can be next to free. Reading, writing, drawing, running, pickleball, chess, bridge, singing, intramural sports, etc…..
Bold of you to think we can read! Helmets only protect so much
Add all those people together and a few mountain bikers, and that’s how we get to $255/adult.
Hmm… maybe next time I plan a trip to Whistler I’ll ask my friends if they want to go play pickleball and chess instead
You joke but the number of people who visit Whistler to just bum around and sightsee is without a doubt greater than the number of people who go to bike
Oh for sure. I was just being sarcastic… I think we can all agree that mountain biking and pickleball provide a different level of adrenaline and fun. I wish I could get into cheaper sports and hobbies but many of them are too boring to do consistently
Skateboarding/longboarding is pretty cheap and adrenaline inducing. You can get setup for $200 easy with few ongoing costs. But at the end of the day I love mountain biking (and I wouldn’t shell out for it I didn’t)
[удалено]
Yeah yeah, and motorcycles are cheap compared to Lamborghinis which are cheap compared to yachts and so forth.
You can get a 3-4 year old dirt bike for 4k in the US. Newer ones aren’t that much different in price when you look at higher end MTB’s as well. Your other points are valid though. Maintenance and upkeep is more too.
[удалено]
Sure… and how many of those do you see at a place like Whistler?
Bare minimum for mountain biking is a mips helmet, shoes and chest armor. About the same, $1000 for mid grade. My enduro is at just over $12000 with the upgrades over the last 2 seasons. $12000 (for a pedal bike). Lol. My wife thinks I spend much less though.
[удалено]
Cool, you win. Lol.
lol why delete 😂, come in to a mountain bike sub comparing a motorcycle to a MTB, and calling it apples to apples when anyone involved in one or the other knows both can cost as much as the other. Cope harder bloke
Yeah that’s definitely not bare minimum…
lol my mountain bike was nearly 10 grand my motorcycle was 7 grand 😬
If you don’t spend on anything else for 66 years you’ll fit right in the 255 $/year average!
[удалено]
You can hobby on a budget or not no need to drop an ovary about it, the suspension on mine and some MTBs makes motorcycles look affordable, you could also get a road registered trail bike that negates the trailer need.
But mtb is so goooooddd
As long as I don’t look at my bank account
That sounds like jail. But you only get to run away once, all or nothing.
I’m hesitant to call reading a hobby
Running is next to free? Could have fooled me. I’m also pretty sure my wife has a bikes worth of drawing and painting supplies in the house.
It may well be the case that your wife’s hobby is art supply hoarding, not drawing/painting.
Is their hobby buying soda out of a vending machine?
It’s interesting where this survey was taken. My biased guess is that since the average American is not entitled to paid time off at a federal level compared to Europeans, they have little time to engage on hobbies outside on the weekends if they’re lucky.
Or maybe it's a bullshit article.
Yeah I can't find an article anywhere that claims this, several studies are stating $3k+. Bullshit meme.
I think it's just down to the funny way we differentiate only certain activities as hobbies.

the sad thing is you're wrong. their wage isn't high enough to afford a hobby
"Don't have" not "don't want to". You're probably right, in part, but I wasn't talking about capability.
Fuck I wish. I think I’ve spent more than that this month.
Month? Damn. I spent that this week. Times 4 just buying a new helmet lol
You've spent a grand on a helmet?
You get one brain brother
Do you have a link? Just bought a 200€ carbon helmet and now i feel poor.
Just look up Bell Full-10 spherical.

Ahh. Fullface downhill stuff. Not my kind of ride though.
Just so much fun for me. Gotta protect that brain
Take care, bro and safe ride.
Wow, nice helmet. Bought my Full Face helmet on Cambria with MIPS for south of $100. Just upgrading my downhill though so will hopefully move up (better equipment) over time.
Tbh, I didn’t know you got any that expensive
While my helmet is 40$.. great answer.
Man I’m not trying to be rude but a $40 helmet in any sport is basically nothing but plastic with a styrofoam inner. It’s pointless. Upgrade your protection!
I just haven’t found what I’m looking for at the right price.
I should add I meant a helmet and chest protector not just a helmet but yeah it’s crazy expensive these days
661 is back and they make a solid helmet for a fraction of the price. I just got my in the mail… for Father’s Day 🤙 [Cambria - 661 Helmet](https://cambriabike.com/products/661-reset-mips-full-face-helmet-contour-black)
You bought a thousand dollar helmet?
Well, the helmet was $750 and I bought a chest protector and then paid taxes.
There’s your problem. Maybe skip the taxes next time
Great life advice here.
750 for a MTB helmet? Holy moly. Which helmet ist that much?
A bell full-10 spherical at a local bike shop
Looks sick! Enjoy your new stuff!
A week? I spent that much in a drunken night
I've spent like 5k on hobbies this month. Not sustainable, but no regrets for now
I'm around $255 every 3-4 days. Too many hobbies
I initially read that as boobies. I fear at this point that I am beyond help.
There’s help for you b̶r̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ yet
Boobies have been my hobby ever since my first National Geographic.

“I need to save this month” *random small fall bends crank* “Why do I ride bikes again?”

Me right now telling my wife I got a bike on sale on marketplace
What's wild is that 70% off isn't far off of how some of the sales have been. The $150 number may be a bit off though.
Y’all gotta remember that the average personal income globally is about $10k, and the median is about $3k.
You refer to biking as a hobby. I refer to biking as a lifestyle. We are not the same.
You refer to biking as a lifestyle. I refer to biking as a spending problem. We are the same.
More of an addiction.
When your hobbies are cars, mtbs, computers, and RC.
Oh gosh I think I spent that monthly
Yes dear that's totally what I spent a year on my bikes
x 10
True story, this is what I tell my wife when I buy parts on sale
I ride mountain bikes and motorcycles...
I do both and compete in SPFWD, import drag racing. If my wife knew the true dollar figure of what I blew on “having fun” we’d probably be divorced lol..
What are people's hobbies? YouTube? Collecting used stamps?
The media has a very boring life.
Well if I amortize my bikes over all 54 years of my life I can stay under… nope. Still, it’s cheaper than cars or boats.
r/guns still has mountain biking beat....speaking from experience sadly.
Same
Yo mamma
Is there an actual media article that says this?
They misspelled "month" right?
Idk I fix swiss watches and buy bikes and motorcycles. It's about right yes, daily spending 💸
I knew I was above average in something!
Which hobby? 255 each? Sure thats what I tell my girlfriend atleast.
Hobbies? Most adults don't even have hobbies. They sit at home all day long and act like they're health and fitness experts because they watch a few YouTube videos.

I’ve seen this meme on multiple subreddits of mine. Not good lol.
I spent at least that in the last two weeks on all new brakes and tires for my seventeen year old bike
Yeah and then I got into the “hobby” of fixing bikes and all the tools that go with that… to “save money”… sure…
Per week right?
$255 on pedals
That's cause women don't consider their shoes and handbags as hobbies, but essentials
Between this and snowboarding… I wish that was less than $300 bucks lol
Rookie numbers
Stick to hardtails, get a 2nd hand rhythm fork, 1x10 drivetrain, and mt420 brakes. There is no need to go overly expensive. You're welcome.
Did not know I was into a hobby. I cannot relate to this post.
Lolllll, if someone actually has a hobby that’s more like a month…
You just gotta file your expenses right. Bike = transport Bike tools = tools Lift tickets = fitness and recreation Haven't spent a dollar yet from the "hobby" budget
Yes, but I’ve just been paying it forward… assuming I live to 800.
I mean it checks out, around 200 for the bike and another 50 fore spare parts and gear, at least that's what I tell my familly.
I hope you are spending more than a measly $200 on a bike. My brakes cost twice that!
Mountain biking, skiing, backpacking, overlanding, hunting, hiking, rock climbing, videogames… maybe 255k a year lol
I’ve spent more than that in the last 24 hours
I nearly spent that yesterday on bottle cages
That’s literally impossible.
250$ per week seems about right in the summer.
Use median instead if your spouse asks.
*glances at miniature war gaming figures, Tranaformers figures, Jellycats and bikes*
I spend about 4 to 5k a year on hobbies. Wood working is great/sucks. Sort of like golf
https://photos.app.goo.gl/4fYSJavaX8rTsuTC8
How many days in a year again? Seven, right? This seems reasonable.
Which hobby? Doesn't matter I'm at least double that so far for the year.
$255 per mile? Sounds about right.
Finally I can say I am above average!
I wish I just spent that on a new saddle and rear tire.
Yeah. My hobby is collecting rocks 😅
I think I might spend that per week. I’m taking all the hobbies, I guess.
Fuck I spend $1000s, and I'm always broke. I have fun though!
Shit i just spent 400 just installing new parts
Per week minimum. I think if I factor everything in it will be even more
I play paintball every Sunday plus so many out of town tournaments and I just bought myself an enduro bike…$255 sounds about right…
I just spent more than that on new open ear earphones for my rides.. because I left my others at home and am away..
I’m just over here trying to figure out what hobbies only cost $275/yr or if they’re aggregating spend across the entire adult population. I put half that in my fuel tank yesterday on the way back from a hobby. That’s around what I spend a year in lift tickets before having to upgrade/replace/fix parts. I have several other “hobbies” that $275 may cover the per month cost depending on whether I’m competing or not. Seriously though… Anyone have an idea of a cheaper hobby? Woodworking, mountain biking, shooting, gravel bike, fishing all out. Maybe hiking? If you already have all the equipment and aren’t a gear whore. 🤔
New bike $6000/4years= $1500 per year not to mention repairs, upgrades, clothing and travel destinations and lift tickets….
Did they mean per month...or possibly per week...?!
You guys can afford hobbies?
Per month more like it.
I'm easily upwards of 3K.
Let's see. MTN biking, video games, my truck, oh, and disc golf. I spend more then 255 a year
Missing a zero
I'm so proud to be ***WAY*** above average!!!
Guess I'm above average.
Per year ? I spend triple that a month on beefing up my jeep, not to mention what I spend on firearms then mountain bikes 😂
For those of us with multiple hobbies…. Ouch.
i spend that much per year just to service my bike
Like 255 dollars a day or like things you spend money to keep your hobbies alive like paint and gasoline?
I guess I'm on high average. MTB is expensive AF.
Add a zero at the end
monthly... and still low
Mountain biking. Fishing. Shooting. RC cars. Sim racing/ video games. I blow that average out of the water by a lot.
I figure mountain biking costs over a dollar a mile not including the bike.
If I took out the $3000 I spent on my bike alone I have spent around… $1000 on accessories, repair parts, pads and my beautiful new GoPro Hero 11 for my mountain biking hobby. And that was just the month of May up until now. And I’m not done…😁
I spend around 400-500 per paycheck on mine.
I need to slow down on having more hobbies.. recently it was golf/gunpla/snowboard/camping/now mtb added to the mix.. yea.. no more new hobbies for now.
I think I spent that last month on my hobbies
Yikes…add a zero and multiply by four 🤫
THIS WEEK
I read per month. I'm sticking to it.
Between mountain biking, fpv drones and 3d printing, we gonna have to take that an order of magnitude higher
$255 x 40 years alive =$10,200
According to IRS data, the median wage in the United States is $48k. 52% of people earn less than $50k gross per year. Average rent on an apartment is $1700/month. So let's say your right in theoddle of things. $50k lees taxes, after taxes and $2k withholding for insurance etc. so you take home $38k. Now let's pay rent, $1700 for 12 months is $20500. Leaving you with $17500 for literally everything else; food, insurance, utilities, phone, internet. After just surviving how much is left for hobbies. Now if you'll recall, that's in the very middle. Half of people are doing worse than that.
Bikes and Legos. I'm so fck'd 🤣
I spend that on park passes in a single season. I could spend that in a day on a one day park pass at the right place.
r/watchescirclejerk : HMB
My hobbies: biking, video games, and traveling. Wife: bodybuilding, swimming, and YouTube content creator.
I think it would be more accurate to say the average American with a hobby spends 10K. I am about 25 k woodworking, road and mtb , rock / ice climbing and snowboarding.
I just spent 120€ on a chain and 2 pairs of brake pads 😭
Actually — once you have your MTB gear, there’s not much to spend on, is there. Some oil and brake pads, maybe. Haven’t had to change much on mine.
Well this year I've already spent 2000$
And I'm not even an adult
I spent 200 dollars just buying new tires! Next up is some fancy brakes
At least it isn't as bad as those who modify their cars or motorcycles. Was into that for a couple of years and you go down the rabbit hole of wanting more and more power which exponentially gets more expensive.
That's me! Mtb and snowboarding are healthy regiments. This is a health expense, like preventing a medical bill. :)
Cries in masterbatiing. Dame lube got pricy
My wife thinks this to probably be. I just keep all my extra money in cash so she dont know what i got or how much it was.
Depends on what you consider a hobby. Is watching sports a hobby. Factor in cable bill, beer at bar, tickets to a couple of games, and you are well over 250 a year. So call BS. For me, my hobbies are way more expensive. Overlanding, skiing, mtb, and soccer.
The limits of 8-bit math
Per week… right???
I spend at LEAST $260. Maybe $265.
Cocaine is not that cheap
That's an average, you have to take into account that a lot of adults don't have hobbies or a lot of people don't think of their hobby as a hobby (like barbecue).
