Milestone coming soon for my daily

Have been car-free since 2013 which I bought my awesome mango ... not bad for a FGSS beater.

4917 km




227h59m (228h to make the math easy)






21.56 kph average urban
commuting speed

I think I've missed a few commutes with the mess of house renovation and being hit by the van, but otherwise OK

Wow, 1K km/yr seems not much for car-free, you must have a shorter commute, or is that the mileage for just one of many bikes?

Distances are shorter in Europe. Also public transport is excellent (3 mega airports and 3 solid sized) are connected on the train network within 2-3h of here. It becomes more of a do I want to save money or sit on a train decision.

Also, over here, most would prefer to live close to work (walk I g distance) but most can't afford it :/
