Got to thinking about something, and thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knows. We may have discussed this before, but then again, we've discussed everything before.

So here's my questions:

1. What percentage of adults who own at least one bicycle go cycling at least once a week on average? I'm not thinking of those cultures where biking is a way of life, by the way. I'm thinking of those populations who cycle primarily for recreation, fitness, perhaps commuting by choice, etc.

2. What would you speculate is the average number of miles that a bike gets during it's lifetime? This would somehow have to incorporate all those bikes that get used once or twice and never again, and all those bikes that are used for decades (like by some people on this very forum!), and all those in-between.

Any ideas?
