How many car/bike miles last week?
Wondering how many miles you put on your bike recently? Also, how many car miles (even if you are carfree you might have hopped a ride with a friend)?
For me, in the week
bike: around 200 miles
car: 30
I have been averaging this for the car for the last 3 months. Bike miles for the last 3 months probably around 120. Car miles went up to about 50/60 during February. Then when Spring hit, I had two weeks where car miles were over 100.... then settled down again. Bike miles in February were around 5 miles a week

walked, 8 miles
rowboat, 1 mile (?)

I did zero in cars, as usual, and about 60 on the bike, as usual.

Car- Zero, Don't own one anymore.
Bike- 30 miles a week
Light rail- 100 Miles a week.
The light rail lets me take my bike on it as well. No theft for me.

In the past 7 days I traveled about 90 miles by car in one day, and all of the other days traveled just by bike. Bike mileage, about 18 miles per weekday, not much on weekends. Total bike miles over the week, about 90.
During a typical 7-day week I travel 0 miles by car, but this past weekend my partner had me going with her to South New Jersey because I'm helping her run part of a conference that will be held there.
All my distances are based on info from internet map sites, which give you about the same distances you'd get looking at your bike or car odometer.

Have to estimate the mileage for the cars.
two trips.= 50.
bikes - 4 trips. = 145
