Care to guess which milestone BikeProlog will claim first?

My guess will be miles. Check the current stats here (http://www.bikeprolog.com/stats/riderstats.jsp)

" 1.5 million miles or 10,000 hours?"

Looks to me like 100,000 hours, not 10,000???

True DnvrFox, but once you press the "Submit Reply" key there's no turnig back. ;)

So what's your guess?

Well, it would appear the average speed is about 15 mph. As summer is approaching, I think that average might go up a bit, so I will go with the mileage over the hours.

(Incidentally, there is the "edit" key.)

Used the same logic when picking miles.

Am I doing something wrong, I was unable to edit the "Subject" part of the post. The box is there but it doesn't update on the thread :confused:

I wonder how much gas and money that translates into...say 1.56 per gallon(that's what it is on base) and pretend it's a semi-economy car getting 25 miles to the gallon(my sisters Daewoo)..So 1,409,967 divided by 25 gives how many gallons which would be 56,398.68 gallons..At 1.56 per is $87,981.94

Coolio.

I guess you would have to leave the title, but change the text to reflect the error in the title. I once was able to make a minor change in the title, but never again??
