Compare miles
« on: October 21, 2010, 05:08:50 PM »
I had an idea today as I was riding to work.How about a thread for us to post daily/weekly how many miles we put on our bikes namely mountain bikes.I of course think I have everyone beat but still think its a great way to spark conversation and get people to ride more as motivation. ;D

It is free for basic, and 20 bucks for the full blown deal.

I checked my odometer yesterday.  Got my Rush in April, I think.  Then got the odometer.  967 since April.  Not including any road miles.  Guess I should start keeping track, eh?

That is great. It is very motivating. I have been using it for almost 4 years...each year I try to increase time on the bike, that of course results in miles.
 
year one 3167
year two 4803
year 3    5512
 
so far this year 5146
 
 
it is addictive.....the whole damned thing....

That is quite impressive. Not so much the mileage, but the ability/free time to accomplish said miles. I'm jealous.

You will get some miles out of that one !

A 'good' ride is one that you can walk away. A'great' ride is one after which you can use the bike again.

Aw c'mon.  You left yourself wide open.  What's a girl to do??? ;)

And thanks for telling me all about BJ.  I'm gonna record my miles there now.

Does moving your bike around in the garage count?  If it does I have about 150 feet.  I would add it to BJ but I forgot my login
