No I don't use an odometer but here is my typical usage pattern for the bike. The ride to work is 20 minutes except in nice weather I take a 50 minute ride home through the park. Sometimes like today I have to ride across town for work- 30 - 40 minutes one way depending on which site it is. About every other weekend I rode it 10 miles one way to suburban shopping. Then add in the 5 - 8 mile personal transportation trips for theater concerts shopping or visiting friends about once per week. Sometimes after work I go
about 10 miles one way to meet my daughter or volunteer on a project in the same town.
I rode in all weather including salted and sanded snow. DC has rough roads so the bike takes a lot of bumps. The seat got ripped in 1 year. The running gear- transmission chain and bottom bracket- are all still silky smooth.
That should give you an idea of the mileage.
