weekly mileage?
hi everybody, i was just wondering what milage you cover over a week or month? literally only on your fixed gear, specially people who only ride fixed?
Also, anyone use strava? give me a follow and il follow you back to see your rides, give me a bit of motivation

I average 85 miles a week commuting, more when the weather is nice. But that's not fixed. :-/ My Fuji has been out of commission for various reasons, but right now the wheels need to be trued, and I need to install her new pedals(*) and saddlebag mount and she'll be good to go.

150-200 miles/week, all fixed, around 5 years now. 22-25 round trip commute depending on route. Weekends anywhere from 25 to 70 per day. Still haven't done a century fixed, probably a mental thing. 3440 year to date

Wholly dependent upon what my free time looks like. Typically anywhere from ~20-50, most of the time on a fixed gear (or single speed). Most weeks I shoot for at least 30 miles.

not fixed but often 15+ miles daily, so potentially 100 ish miles a week?
i guess its more accurate to say close to 20 miles 5ish days a week. i did about 80 miles since last sunday but i took a few more days off than usual. not sure how accurate google maps is tho honestly

i'm trying to hit 3000, maybe 3500 miles this year, basically I need to average 57 miles a week for 3k, 67 for 3.5k. Basically anything less that 50 miles I ride fixed, 50+ I ride single speed.
Currently averaging 63 miles a week. I was up in the 80's, but the past few weeks have had horrible weather and been traveling a bit. Last week I only did like 40 miles.

I usually average around 40/50 miles a day for work, and with track sessions/weekend rides taken into account It's usually around 150+ a week.

I've been pulling 200+ miles a week for the last month, but most of that is on geared bikes except for races at the track.

Let's see... 6,072 miles since building it four and a half years ago, works out to about 110 miles a month. Well that's less impressive than I was hoping it would be.

100 miles per week most months. All commuting. 70% fixed and 30% single speed (winter mountain bike). I'm at 2,000 for the year, on pace for 4,500.

seriously though, i don't really understand this strava thing? it has an "auto pause" feature but i still have to hit record and stop? google maps just tracks wherever i go and then tries to guess what was biking or driving.
as a courier, would you just hit record when you leave the house and not worry about it till you get home?

40 to 60 miles a week just for pleasure and rehab. When I'm ship shape I'll commute and that should add another twenny to thurdiey milez a week depending on how often I ride to the werk place.

I started working from home and that eliminated my commute and I have been getting most of my exercise from long distance running. I kind of like the idea of getting a mountain/fat bike to roll on the jeep trails around here but the loose rocks in the arroyos have me worried I will end up as vulture food.

I'm lazy, and have basically turned into a weekend rider. My commute to work isn't feasible. So I'd say probably 40 miles or so a week. Cruising the city Saturday & Sunday.

I average about 60-80 a week depending on my schedule. The summer months when school is out has my delivery miles down quite a bit. It was common to have a 30+ mile day between that and commuting to both jobs. Finals week at the university had me around 140 miles or so?
