Kona Ute - do school run with kids, then ride the rest of the way to work. indestructible.
the commuter track bike comes next for the days (Monday) that I'm not ferrying the kids
road and mountain on the weekends only
I have a plan to flog both the ute and the track (or dismantle) and get CX because the kids are just about walking age
Commuter bike > HT MTB > FS MTB
In the 4 years or so I've been keeping track of these things, my commuting bike (MK1 RoadRat mainly, other bikes have come and gone) has done twice the miles of all the others pretty much.
Crush 2,319.9
Five 1,106.3
Roadrat 10,680.8
456 (RIP) 2,652.6
Nicolai (RIP)519.7
I need to do more MTBing! 🙂
Most ridden by miles is the Trek Super[s]fly[/s]commuter which has also been standing in as a road/gravel bike and my CX race bike (amazing what a change of tyres can do...).
Rapidly catching up however is the commuter, which I ride far more often but typically only 40-50km a day.
Think the Trek will edge further ahead after this weekend, got a 150km loop planned (snow permitting) but the Charge should close that gap for Christmas.
My Remedy 29- it's the right tool for any of my riding apart from commuting. The fatbike gets a lot of use too though.
It ought to be my boardman hybrid but I can't be arsed riding to work just now
My 10 year old Santa Cruz Superlight has seen most use this year as it's my local woodland bike and is helping inspire me back to fitness after illness. My Bronson isn't far behind but will always be used less because it needs techy trails to be worth riding and it's pretty flat round here. Road bike only gets a look in if I get dragged out by mates, never my choice
In terms of current use, because all I have been doing is commuting, it is hands-down my CX (2016 Rapide RL Disc 2).
For sheer number of miles in the last year, however, it has got to be my 2014 Wilier GTR.
Surly Disc Trucker.
Expected just to use it for camping weekends and the odd big trip.
Thing is, it fits so well and is so much fun to ride, despite the weight, that I use it for pretty much everything.
Got home from work about 8 last night and rode it around the block, less than five minutes, just because it's fun.
Swift 29 rigid closely followed by my CX, the full on MTB just not getting out at the mo. I wonder if I’m calming down with age 😕
29er hardtail from big xc trip and commuting, but the 27+ rigid has won most of the MTB time..and may catch up as winter commuter now that its slop offroad, and frosty on.
Makes me feel good to realise that the road, cx, full suss and brompton have all been ridden a fair amount this year too....right tool for the job and all that 🙂
26" daily commute bike, trigger's broom. Since last time I posted a picture of it here, have removed the dropper post, and gone from 26-36-48t to a single 34t front gearing. And added lights + frame bag for battery. Might add mudguards if I start getting wet more than once a week.

On One SingleSpeed put together as an experiment for £150 ten years ago. A few other bikes but it’s the most used!
