Whats your annual biking mileage

[RemaL]

It's friday so why no.
How many miles do you do each year and how.

Commute, for fun.

I have picked 2000-3000 I don't often do more than 3k as i have a few other toys (kit car etc) which I also use throughout the summer

For me biking is a hobby and fun so I don't get much fun riding in the cold and wet.

So normally ride from about March until Oct or when it gets cold and nasty out there. But if their is a good day I may venture out

Amazing people say kids get i the way of riding. Passed my Test when my eldest was 3. now 15. youngest in now 12.

Never got in the way of me riding. Weekend or weekday I have off. make sure we have nothing on and go out for a day or half day.
I understand if single parents it's harder. And other situations etc
I have the TT booked with mates this year for a week. A week touring the Wild west in Oct.

I'm glad you didnt have the issues that we have had to put up with over the last year. Not everyone is graced with an easy start to life, or subsequent years.

Sorry, but this has really irked me.

2017 was a f**king terrible year for my son and my family. Whilst i wanted to escape, it was not always possible.

Bob not meant it irritate you mate.

Was more about personal experience with friends who ride or don't much . Everyone has their own reasons for not riding much or at all.

When you're the only earner in the household, are self employed and have a baby. That's when you decide not to ride the bike. If I come off then its no money, no house etc.

Yup in the same position apart from my 2 kids are older

Just wondering if people think commuting miles make them a better rider than those that only ride during the summer months for pleasure.

I would have thought any experience riding may help people ride more aware. Newbies or the old guard.

one of the things I always take mates who have passed their test. Get out and get road experience

much in the same way going on Track helps massively with riding on the road. Which I found and a few mates I started to goin on TD's with
