In the last 3 years of commuting, I've done over 8500 miles on my Sirrus - numerous pads and tyres replaced, plus both wheel hubs just recently, oh .and a minor fix to rear brake, other than that it's been very solid.

That might actually be more than I've done in my car now that I come to think of it...

I think I did around 1200 miles last year. I did at least 25 miles most weeks, the odd time I managed 100 miles a week.

Think.....err.....hmmmm....4 miles?....no wait.....40,000......no...400?

Oh I've no idea but I've been riding MTB for 2 years.

I reckon I covered 100,000 miles on my BMX's back in the day, I didn't go anywhere without one. Happy days. cloud9

Sorry about my first post ( i was tierd last night) what i ment to say was i travel about 25 to 30 miles a week and over 16 years of travelling to work and back the mileage has added up.
Like you Anniesdad i had a BMX when i was a kid,a chrome foxbat with a front Mag wheel, I was thinking about getting a Mag Burner to relive the good old days ,but not sure my old knees would cope and the mag wheels are strong enough for my weight.

Well the speedo I got 2 weeks ago is now showing as 72 miles...

Not a huge amount, with summer coming (and a new job thats 2 miles further away) I may get more then 2k by the end of the year.
