Aw, c'mon, don't be like that. We're trying to make this as clear as possible: the miles stated refer to commuting miles, as you suggested, in a strict sense. The number in parentheses refers to some larger, less strict, number. In my case, this will include errands I could have done in the car, but didn't; bike tours that replace vacations that might otherwise have included a car; and recreational bike rides that could never involve a car. I suppose we could have separate categories for all these things... how silly would that be? What you chose to include is up to you. No one is checking on you. So... join the party! But... your call.
