Seems like there are a hell of a lot of folk on here that buy a nice shiny bike and never ride it.
So how much do you actually ride your bikes?
I've done around 250 miles this week.
i only ride one at a time, shiny or not
Not enough.
Lately, not enough. As of tomorrow, every day.
**** all. It spoils them.
Bikes?
I'm only here under the promise of lightly cooked kittens.
one i ride all the time, the others just sit there making me feel guilty.
i ridwhenever i get the chance. With three kids and a missus too keep happy thats no t as often as id like. A typical week for me is one 2-3hr night ride and one good long ride in the week on top of that icycle to and from work everyday. I try and have at least one week during the year where i will go and ride somewhere new, last year i did the 7 stanes and so far this year ive already been to sierra neveda and planning on a camping holiday in north wales for easter holidays with my eldest 🙂
Only 4 days this week.
Last week did 90 miles.
45 mile ride on the cx bike
25 miles today on MTB
20 miles commute for the week
Not nearly as much since my daughter was born .. Try and get out most night's even it's for an hour and 1 full day at w/end.
But do try to keep it as shinning as possible 🙂
5hrs but only when I'm not manic in the office.
Sometimes the HT, sometimes the full sus'.
Meaning I have some 3.5 bikes going onto eBay in the near future (sob!).

Took a trip down to the spar shop today. Covered about 1/2 a mile. Popped a wheelie and dropped of a curb on my ti deluxe, on the way back I dodged a cat, manual'd the car park and railed a burm of sand in a gutter. Sweet sweet ride. Oh and went out on the road bike for a few hours. Dull. Distance is nothing. Its the experience acquired along the way. IMO.
I don't do 'miles' but this weekend I did about 10 hours. Most weeks I manage about 8-15 hours.
I ride most days as I don't have a car if commuting and running errands counts. Tends to be one or two "proper" mtb rides a week - total mileage between 50 -100 miles a week most weeks of the year. Sometimes more occasionally less
At least an hour every weekday 10-15 milesish a little bit more on fridays due to early finish and what ever I can fit in on the weekend,that can be any mix of road and mtb. going to start riding nights again when trouties light housing arrives.
Every day . . . that's why I have to change them so often 😉
Well I've done 155 off road and 245 on road this year which I'm disappointed in but I have to travel at times in my job and missed a weekend being ill.
last two weeks: twice. to town and back. 12km off road through 18" snow mind.
too much snow on the roads/bike paths for RADL and can't be bothered taking the 'fun' route on the mtb because it takes too long, 45 mins and it's ****ing cold here in munich.
oh, it's snowing right now too...
Is it a Baby Robin?
I'm fluent in 18 languages, can play the harp, piano, trombone, violin, drums and ukele to concert standard, have won Wimbledon 5 times, was the first F1 World Champion to have been born in Hackney, am an international footballer with Argentina, and my paintings sell for upwards of £25 million.
Don't ride me bikes that much, though.. 🙁
250 miles in a week!! I wish I had that sort of time. Probably the most I've done on a regular basis is about 150 a week but not for a long time. I average around 90 miles a week at the moment although I have weeks when I'll fit in a big road ride and do more.
As much or as little as I feel like. It's a hobby not a competition.
As I work away 5 1/2 weeks out of every 10, about 1/4 of what I would like. I do have access to an excercize bike and do an hour 5 or 6 nights a week when away. So I dont die on my first cycle after getting home.
Ride 5 days out of 7,on road and off....more road of late coz of the weather/ trail conditions.
after a seasonal lull of a month i'm be back on it...
One bike, no less than 4 times a week, average of 20 miles each ride and all off road.
6 days a week, usually do between 70-90 miles each week, every week.
Most days. Except when it's too cold, too wet, too muddy, too hot,too cloudy, too windy or too far.
Which is most days
I do between three and three & a half thousand miles a year split between five bikes.
Ride to work if not raining-mud guards 2B fitted on wednesday...
Rode today on roadbike to shop for single speedstuff.
2 mtbs in lounge needing 1 caliper and ****in fork.
Yeah I'm gonna post on here-I don't ride 12 hrs everyday -gotta recover or do something while at work!
Nearly caught me responding to that...
😉
Ya big troll 😉
Think running Sunday to Saturday last week, probably around 350 miles last week, this week coming up i'll try and get 80-100 miles a day on road bike from monday-friday (weather and wind permitting), then around 40-50 miles on mtb, hopefully more. Normally, i commmute 200 miles a week, 40-50 mtb then when nights get lighter prob an extra 200 on road bike. My aim is 450-500 miles a week on bikes (weather and wind permitting), plus 50-70km running. Go Radoggair
radoggair - that explains a thing or two.
Doesn't explain why i like to wear my girlfriends knickers after 9pm though, does it?? 😀
Only when I can.
Is it some sort of barse treatment? to either heal the affected area or make it tougher.
Between 99 & 2001 I did over 33000 miles on the MTB! These days its 3 or 4 times a week around 15 miles each ride.
Barse really should be a word, very descriptive of something.
Defo make it tougher, especially since i lost my gilette and tried to shave the nether region with an electric and ended up cutting it. 😳
4-8 hours a week, kids innit, used to ride 4x that much.
I don't ride half as much as i used to; it's just finding the time. 30 something miles commuting and a ride or two offroad of maybe 12 miles each if i'm lucky. Once the spring comes, days are longer and trails dry out, i'll do a bit more if the old bones'll stand it!
Averaged 110 miles/week over the last couple of years. I do anything between zero (rare) and a bit over 300 miles a week.
Last year i road 500km a week ( was touring though )
This year still rideing 4/5 days a week (not the same distance )
fairly consistence for the last 20 plus years ( days ridden )
single,never married,no kids!!
Dont know, even if its once a week- thats enough. Your not 'hard' if you ride triple digits in a week and your not soft if its less than 20 either. I commute on the bike whenever I can and aim to ride at least once at the weekend. Some weeks its only once all week, others its everyday
Last Saturday my physio told me i was riding too much and I should definitely considered another sport like swimming. i hate swimming. I asked running? and he said no , same kind of muscles, you need something else like swimming. I would have to cancel a night ride in mendips for a swim tonight then.
