My bike computer's been on the fritz several times this year, including now, but I'm estimating somewhat over 2000. Best of all, I just rid myself of my personal car last month! (We still have a family one.)

Some interesting stats: At the time I'm posting this, there were 89 responses for a very rough total of 213,000 miles. (I just multiplied people by the midpoint of each range.) If they were all car alternatives (not accurate, I know), that would be a gas savings of almost $22,000 (@ a conservative $2.25/gallon and mileage of 22 mpg) for almost 9700 gallons not used. That's also almost 97 TONS of CO2 not emitted. (Except the 800 pounds in our collective breath, but that was already in the system anyway.)
