For cycling, more expensive parts don’t really help much. Mid range everything is fine. I don’t need clip on pedals, regular ones are great. For kayaking, anything inflatable is really slower than hard sides and it matters for the enjoyment.
I started with inflatable as it was super cheap. Got a rigid one now. Used it a lot before but since moving house it’s a longer walk to the sea and I usually cycle there to swim instead. Would like to take the kayak out again, but it’s like an hour round trip walking with a kayak to get to water, I can cycle it in under 10 minutes.
