Mileage - 2007
How many miles (or kms) did you put on your bikes last year?
My 1971 Atala Grand Prix went a little over 700, as did my not vintage (but trash-rescued) Specialized Hard Rock Comp (primarily winter rides).
The 1964 Dilecta Touring broke 300, as did a lower-level bike boom era Centurion that I was just testing in the spring (rescued from trash in the winter, added air to the tires and rode) before giving to one of my neighbors to bring to their summer cabin.

I really diddn't keep track. I have multiple bikes and only one computer. I'd guess, overall between 800 and 1K though.

And if I did know, I'd be too embarrassed to say in public
Let's just say this wasn't a stellar year.

Not to sure really... it was not a great year for me on home soil but I did lay down 1700 kms in Europe over a 5 week period.

I logged all my odometers on Jan 1.
Last year I did 1,050 miles total. Not lots, but pretty good considering I was benched for a couple of months following sinus surgery last summer.

I did (about) 2,000 miles and they were split on 2 bikes from the 80s. A 1983 trek 600 & a 1984 peugeot psvn10. I am in the process of rebuilding my bianchi TSX and I believe 08 will show it the most miles out of the 3.

None of my classic/vintage bikes have computers or odometers.
My everyday bike does but I just put it on yesterday (I'm dragging myself
into the '90s ) so I have no clue as to how much I rode last year.

As of August 8th, about a 1000 miles on the roadies. About 200 on the gravel path MUP rider. I have no clue what I road on MTBs. I guess about 100 miles??? Then the doc ordered me off of bikes due to a problem with my neck and shoulder.
Does anyone know the conversion factor for single track, technical MTB trail to road bike on asphault???

Bikes: The keepers: 1969 Magneet Sprint, 1971 Gitane Tour de France, 1973 Raleigh Twenty, 3 - 1986 Rossins.
5368 for everything that is either in, or passed through, the garage last year. High end was my Bianchi Nyala at 1300+ miles. Low end was my Raleigh Sports: 51. Most everything else did 400-500. I tend to ride 50 miles or a bit more on one bike, then switch to another, and keep everything on the road in rotation.

My ususal is 2 to 3000, this year because of my touring journeys - 9000 plus miles and not much in the last 90 days. Hoping to start 2008 miles tomorrow depending how nasty the weather might be

Bikes: 7-Eleven Eddy Merckx, Vitus Futural, Catamount FRS, Colnago SL, SS MTB
Total miles for the year: 503.23 (I only rode about 1/4 of the time that I wanted to).
Breakdown by bike:
I was at 488.43 miles a week before the end of the year. I specifically went out for a 12+ mile ride on the Merckx to break 500 miles on the morning of the 31st. I hope to have at least 3 of the above bikes into triple-digit mileage by the end of 2008. It'd be really great if I could double my total mileage.
Breakdown by bike:
Code:
New SS MTB: 18.67 (late 90s vintage frame) Vitus Futural: 23.73 (80s vintage frame) Colnago single-speed: 65.81 (80s vintage frame) Eddy Merckx: 102.58 (late 80s vintage frame) Catamount MFS: 334.07 (mid-90s vintage)

Yes, it does. Plus, it's kind of nice because sometimes I fixate on the numbers and forget to enjoy the ride as much as I could.
