How many miles a year do you ride?

[fooferdoggie]

I ride between seven and 8000 miles a year, between commuting and our E tandem. The last few years I was too sick to ride as much, though I'm getting back in there again, but we don't tend to ride on weekdays after work because my wife gets off too late and it's dark and usually raining in winter now. I used to average approximately 17 miles on a commute and intend to 15 miles a day on weekdays after that on the tandem and weekends 40 or some miles twice. Now I do the same 17 miles but we don't ride a tandem till the weekend and we tend to do about 70 miles over the weekend and summer. I think we can get it back up there again. I just figured it out less than six years I put over 53,000 miles on e bikes. I first bike was a bulls brand with a bosch motor at 14,000 miles on it when the bearings on the motor rusted out, I bought a new bike, but then bosch replaced the motor even out of warranty for free. I track and replaced it with now as almost 19,000 miles in 2.5 years the bulls got 14,000 and exactly 2 years are Bosch powered tandem just hit 20,000 miles less than five years we would've had more but one crash that took us out for a month and my wife's shoulder replacement surgery that kept her from riding for four months. What were used to it? We were doing about 100 to 150 miles a week on the tandem now we're about 80 miles but I think we can bring it back up during the summer. Ride by GPS does not have everything but this is pretty close

I've been doing 3000-3100 miles annually. My wife comes along for two thirds of that. Sometimes we can ride thru December, but the first snow that sticks ends the season. We're too old to risk a fall,

2000 at the most, probably less.

My realistic target for 2025 was reduced to 7500 km (4,660 mi), which is the worst performance of mine since 2019.

• Two months of illness
• A lot of work
• Foreign travels

I cannot help it.

I try to shoot for 2k miles but in all reality it's more like 1.5k miles as my area can have severe weather swings that last for days.

Most US riders on here...

Give or take 2K miles, all on trails.

I did a whopping 1000 miles this year on the Xpedition, most of those miles my wife was on the back.

Very impressive numbers! Way behind you.

It's been 3 years and 3 months since my ebike-powered return to cycling after 20+ years of very little riding. The first 2 years, all on a hub-drive commuter, averaged ~1,500 mi/yr.

The 3rd year nearly doubled that at just over 2,800 mi — almost all of it on a Vado SL 1. The 4th has been off to a slow start for various reasons, but I'm hoping for at least 2,000 mi.

So far, 2500 to 3000 km a season: late March to late November.

I have no idea, so I had to do some research,..

It turns out that I only had 7000 km on my Schwalbe tire that started shedding and detreadding itself.

I thought I had 8000 when I submitted my warranty claim.
I didn't bother checking the odometer.
I didn't want to get off my ass and look.

I still haven't gotten off my ass. lol

I haven't payed much attention since I switched from gasoline and car exhaust to electricity and Vado smoke.
