How many miles on your bike(s)?
Ever since I got my first real road bike in 2008, I have logged every ride. As I approach a milestone on it, I got to thinking about others. So I'm curious, how many miles do you have on your bike(s)?
I have just shy of 20,000 miles on my Specialized Sequoia (aluminum frame, Sora / Tiagra drivetain) in effectively 3.5 years of riding, and a little over 6000 miles on my steel frame Bike Friday that I've had for a year (rode it daily while living overseas).
Others?

Others?

Same here. If I had a computer I could be a bit more accurate.

About 20,000 miles since December 08 but the Lemond frame broke in June and Trek replaced it with a Madone frame and I've got 2,486 miles since the change out

2005 Specialized Roubaix with over 24,000 miles - group set worn out. Replacing group set this winter. Big decision is should I replace Ultegra triple or switch to SRAM Force double.
I am inclined to the SRAM, but still need to test ride a SRAM.

20k on the original components? Nice work! That's pretty darn impressive for all the grief thrown at Sora around these parts (not to mention all the upgrade-itis -- myself included).

I split my miles up between two road bikes, a TT bike, and an MTB. The oldest bike I have is maybe 3 years old, so I don't think I even have 10K miles on any of them. But my old Ibis Ti Road bike had to have 50K+ miles on it when I sold it. Still got strong money for it.

2011 fuji sl pro - 4000 miles.
only 1 bike for now.
i like to log my miles. although... even if i get a 2nd bike, i will only keep a log of my cycling miles total. won't really care about mileage of each individual bike.

Should I wait until I'm home, where I can consult records and provide exact figures? Or would a guesstimate suffice?
Off the top of my head, I probably have between 35,000 and 40,000 miles on my six year old Cannondale, ~8,000 miles on my two year old Strong, and between 4,000 and 5,000 miles on the second-hand Bridgestone that I acquired in 2007.
If I remember to check my mileage logs when I get home we'll see how good my estimating capabilities are.

8000 on my Bottecchia since June 09, and 6600 miles on my Motorbecane IM since two years ago last month. They run great so far so hope to keep them spinning, I am my own wrench so I try to keep them in top shape.
