Oh, that's fine, but the question is, how much do we ride, with the implication that some of us --and I am speaking strictly for myself here-- are not riding enough miles to justify the number of bicycles. You don't seem to have the bike acquisition problem like some of us (
), so perhaps this thread wasn't for you?
I don't track my mileage with precision, but it's pretty easy to make up a number with confidence it'll be pretty accurate. Of the bikes I listed, the Fothergill has an old school mileage ticker, so that's pretty accurate; and the commuter bike has a computer, so that's pretty accurate. The others, I just made up the numbers.
Okay, then, I'll play, but I won't put a whole lot of mileage numbers out there.
My primary bike is a 1994 Nishiki Sport XRS hybrid (acquired as NOS in fall of 2008) that I commute on. I've modded it pretty heavily to something that resembles a Surly LHT. In the past, commuting miles constituted about 2/3 of my mileage, but not so much this year due to heat and other stuff going on in my life.
The next most ridden bike is my 2009 Schwinn Cutter single speed. My wife got it for me for Christmas 2009. I use that for boppin' around town, social rides, pub crawls, and stuff.
I have a 1983 Raleigh Super Course I picked up in the fall of 2010 that is probably the next in line in terms of mileage, but I ride it much less than the previous two. It has a couple issues I need to fix (some brake issues, and I'm considering a drivetrain upgrade to indexed shifting), so I'm not riding that as much as I would like.
Then I have two older bikes, a 1966 Raleigh DL-1 3-speed (fall 2008 garage sale) and a 1973 Schwinn Varsity (plucked from the city dump in the spring of 2009), that I ride occasionally but don't put significant miles on. I've put upright bars and baskets on the Varsity and use it for grocery runs, but the store is less than a mile away, so even though I ride it regularly, I just don't accumulate a lot of miles on it.
