How many km do you ride in a year?

**madandy** · 31st January 2007, 11:44

My last bike I averaged roughly 700km/week so 36400 yr including a 200km/week commute.

My next bike[please let it be soon!!!!] will be a pleasure device only (no not sexual.....mainly

) and I expect to do at least 500/week on that - 26000/yr.

I'm looking at bikes this month that are 3-4 years old and have the equivilent to only one [of my] years worth of riding on them...WTF?

Enough ks to get me satisfied. All that matters really.

I don't do anywhere enough k's on the bike to keep me satisfied...
14000 since january last year... Numerous trips out to Akaroa when i am in chch.
Been in welly since november so been doing the trip up the rumitaka's. Did the round trip twice this weekend...

I don't think though that any amount of riding would satisfy me fully... I just hate to think what i will be like once i have a good bike.

I am also keen to get some track k's this year. (Fingers crossed.)

I chose the wrong box on the poll (poor math skills) - I've had my bike since May 06 and have now done over 6600 kms. Bit of a slow start on it (first bike an all) but now the kms are piling on:

Bought 13 May 06 - first service 2 August 06: odo = 1200kms
2 August - second service 8 December 06: odo = 4850 kms
second service to 2 Feb 07: odo = 6600 ish kms!

I commute almost every day - 50kms round trip. Plus I've been going out for a ride a lunchtimes recently. I filled up on Tuesday lunchtime and have done about 200kms since then.

Ahhh..............

**Monsterbishi** · 2nd February 2007, 14:19

About 3000/year for me, haven't done many k's this summer.

**dawnrazor** · 2nd February 2007, 17:53

I have no shame, I've only recently done 6K and I've had my bike for nearly 2 years

I have a very short commute is my only defense

Dosen't make me any less of a biker right....right?

probably if I spent less time online...........
