I know many on here have more than one bike, so if you do which one did you spend the most time on in 2016?
Me
1. Vaya ti gravel / cross / adventure type bike.
2. Jones steel spaceframe.
3. Norco full suspension bike.
I can't be bothered to work out the exact milage for each bike but the Vaya did more than double the Jones and the Jones more than double the Norco.
Zealous Division
Santa Cruz Hightower
Genesis Tarn
Genesis High Latitude SS
Genesis Fortitude

Dartmoor Hornet, just so much fun and far more capable than a HT has any right to be!
Relegated my very trick Trance to second bike which I never thought would happen.
My Whyte Saxon CX did more miles than my road bike and 4 MTB's put together.(A lot more).
2004 Kinesis Maxlight XC 1000miles ish
2013 Cannondale Bad Boy 250miles ish

9:zero:7 fatbike
Ibis tranny
Ibis mojo
Town bike (most times used)
Fargo (most miles and smiles)
Turner 5 Spot (old, Horst) took it out once
Road: Specialized Roubaix
MTB: Specialized Epic
Cx bike has been the most used bike this year then the full sus for days out. Road bike has done maybe 40km if that after a service.
Very depressingly, it's my Brompton.
My wonderful old Tinbred has made me much happier, but has been used an order of magnitude less than the nerd bike.
Miles wise, the Isaac on Zwift.
The now sold charge cooker and Spearfish were next.
The Parkwood then next, last in miles is the Whyte t130 but that will soon change next year.
Smiles, the Whyte wins.
Steel fave bike 3

On-One Fatty
Cannondale CAAD4 Road bike
El-Mariachi SS
Which just shows how little I rode this year, usually the road bike is by far the most miles because it never used to get used for less than 70-80 at a time. Then the SS for evening/night rides. Then the 'trail' bike only came out on weekends.
Cotic Escapade was about 90% of my (limited) mileage this year.
Cabnondale Trail 29 rigid.
Cabnondale Jeckyll 2.
On One Fatty before I sold it.
Rocky Mountain Altitude 27.5
Lapierre Dh Team 27.5
Commencal Supreme 26 (now sold)
Commencal Meta 29
My £197 Specialized Allez. 4 years strong & the only thing i've changed is the brakes pads & rear tyre.
I think another 4000km on it this year, most of which has probably been on the turbo, which is a depressing thought 🙂
2k miles in South Wales on a Heckler. Simple but amazing bike, not one single issue with it!
Kaffenback
Singular Swift 29er
Cannondale Beast of the East 1 650+ (bought end of the year....)
I've barely been out this year due to crippling carpal tunnel syndrome (now operated on) but when i have been out it's mostly on my Planet X Kaffenback, flat bar build, which my kids nicely refer to as my old man bike.
Joint top (can't be bothered to figure out the exact mileage but will be similar): Onza Payoff and Canyon Spectral. Tended to use the Onza for commuting, evening rides and when it was wet, Canyon for everything else).
3rd: Forme Hooklow gravel/ CX bike (now sold, was replaced by the Onza).
4th: Scott Genius (now sold, replaced by the Canyon).
Mostly my old 26" hardtail as my brand new 27.5" full sus spent a lot of time being broken.
Most miles Specialized Allez
Most smiles? Not sure I like all of them!

Think the CDF will be well on top in terms of distance next year, but probably not amount of rides.

I reckon the order will probably completely reverse for 2017.
Probably close to a 50/50 between my Remedy 29 and my Dune fatbike. The Remedy does all the going away and almost all of the racing, and most of the harder work generally, the Dune gets used a lot locally and on familiar trails. A good partnership.
There's a cheap carbon 29er creeping in which I suspect is going to get ridden about 4 times 😆
