I am interested to find out how far people ride every week. If it is commuting to work everyday, or a just a Sunday ride, how many Km's do you ride on an average basis every week.
1 mile = 1.61km (just multiply miles by 1.61)
Thanks everyone!

Every lane is a bike lane
400+ is probably the closest to what I do. I'm approaching 18,000km for the year to date.

CycliStats users - the quickest way to get the answer to this question is to:
1) Switch from Miles to Kilometers, using the Options window (if necessary). Note: this does not change your ride data - it just affects how it displays.
2) On the Statistics tab, set your From and To Date range to whatever you want (e.g., this year to date).
3) Select the "Summary Rides - Averages" option. Your Weekly Averages (in km) will then appear on the third row in the grid.
FWIW - my weekly average for this year is 131.57 km/week (81.76 miles/week).

lets see.
I ride about 6-7 miles m-f and then on saturday i ride anywhere from 25 - 60miles and on sunday I usually do 30 - 40 miles.
thats about 120miles. Not sure how much I ride during the year as my time is limited by homework, school projects, summer school, injuries etc.

My average over a three year period is 134 Km per week. Some weeks are close to 300 Km, but then again some weeks are close to 0.

BTW - you can import your Excel data files into CycliStats. Unforunately, it's not all that easy, but it's a one-time task. What you'll need to do is:
1) Export a few rides from CycliStats in ".csv" format, by clicking on File / Export when you're on the "Rides" tab.
2) Open the .csv file in Excel, and delete the rides, but leave the first row of headers.
3) Using your previously entered Excel data, copy and paste your ride info into the appropriate cells in the CycliStats .csv file. Make sure your Name and your bike's name are in each row, and match what's in your CycliStats database.
4) After saving the .csv file, you can open CycliStats and select "File / Import". Select the .csv file with your rides, and they should all import.
Note: you need to use the .csv file format (which is a simple text file), because Excel play some weird games with some of the fields (espcially, Ride Time) that causes it to mess up the import.

I ride around 25 miles each morning on mainly unpaved roads with my Mountain Bike. I then shower, eat and go to work.

Lets see, 25 a day at work = 125 per week + 50 - 60 road miles = 180 miles approx 250 or so km...
The only metric unit I do not use! Ahhh!

Oh and for those who are like me (rather dumdum sometimes with math) you can use Online Conversion to convert your favourite "things" (temp,distance, volume, etc) very easily.

I don't ride as much as I used to, but I still get in 110 kms commuting in a week with a 50 km ride on the weekend. I think I'm at about 120,000 kms total.
I think the more important thing to me, is to keep it going through the years. I've managed to make it for just short of 20 years now. At this point, I can't see myself stopping.
