Do you log your miles? And ... why?
Someone on another thread mentioned that he needed a cyclocomputer so he could keep track of the miles he rides. My first thought was: why? But it got me thinking, and I realized that there could be any number of reasons; so I'm wondering what peoples' reasons are.
My accountant tells me I can deduct all my commuting-related bicycling expenses (which, if I've given up recreational cycling, equals all my cycling-related expenses, right?); can I also deduct $.50 per mile or something? I know, I should ask my accountant.... Is any of you fellow bike-commuters doing that?
