The bike is my main form of transport. I guess I average 1000+ a month. Yes, I do have a car but only use for taking stuff from one place to another, and then only at weekends.

 I ride most everywhere I go, tour a few times a year (only limited by my budget).  Short daily commute keeps the miles under 20K/yr.  If I move to MoreHouseForTheMoneyLand, my commute will go from 10 miles to 50 miles.  Not sure if I want to do that.

I've been working on bikes more than riding them lately.  Also been going through so many bikes I can't keep track of mileage per year, but I'd guess 10-15k a year since I don't have a car and a very, very short commute to work.

There was a time when I'd have been in the top tier... ah, those were the days...   Inlove

Oh man, it would be too depressing for me to vote in this poll. Lol  It's been <3K/year since 2009.  I think I have good excuses, though.   Wink  I'm guessing maybe a couple more years of crappy mileage stats and then hopefully I'll be healthy enough and the offspring should be old enough that I could do more trips again. Fingers crossed!

I stopped keeping track after I added the second bike in the stable.  They both get two oil changes in a given year, so I guessed in the 12k range.

I commute year-round as much as I can due to free parking and also to keep my mental skills up.  Lately I've realized I really need to add variety to my riding;  my confidence changes and I can feel the difference riding from tensing up on the bike when I'm going somewhere that's not on the route between my house and the office. This aligns nicely with Grant wanting to ride more this year.

Once the commuting starts that's 400 miles a week. Then there's the planned trips, Indy, Road America, Springfield and then there's Saturday and Sunday mental health rides Bigsmile About 15K a year.

Interesting poll.  I had expected it to skew more toward the top on this forum.  For me, I commute 52 miles a day and on at least two weekends ride several hundred miles for Rides to Eat and visiting my girlfriend in another state.  I've put 41,000 miles on the NT700V in 27 months.
