    What is your total mileage on two wheels ? (guess if necessary)

    Don't think this question ahs ever been polled , oddly. A search didn't find it, though it's rather hard to search for. Anyway, if it has been done it would be some time ago and out of date.

    So, how many kilometres have you ridden , in total. Two or three wheels only, 4 wheels and more don't count. Obviously some folk will long since have lost count and will have to estimate. In total means in total, those who have had a break add things together.

    POWERED VEHICLES ONLY. Roller skates and treadleys don't count.

    Not very far. Not very far at all. Under 5000km. I plan to address this deficiency.

    Unicycles count double. Bicycles without mtrs don't count. And you forgot to vote, silly.

    This poll highlights the fact that I really don't get out much...

    Sigh. Goes to show. I thought the "too silly to work it out" option was just for giggles. Seems not.

    Big question - who will top the million mark? I'm sure someone will.

    So, take your annual mileage and multiply by 20.

    I did, and I meant wheelies. That makes it 11002.

    Well I've done about 200,000km on bicycles don't now if mtr means motor or meter - in which case the bike did have a meter (distance measuring device) and had me as a motor.

    Only been on the bike 8 months or so therefore my paltry 15,000km doesn't really count.

    I can't remeber all the mileages that each bike I've ever owned has done, but adding the road bikes I've owned from new comes to a bit over 330000 km. I can only guess that there may be around another 100000 - 150000 on bikes that were second hand and/or dirt bikes. I have currently just clocked over 12000 km in the last 6 months, and I've been rining for 37 years.
    Some years I've done more than others, but overall I'd guess at around 500000 km or just under.
