Count your miles, don't count your miles it makes no difference if you're out there riding and enjoying yourself, using the bike for chores, getting your personal weight goals or just smashing down gnarly trails.
Some people want to be the best at a thing or enjoy the competition, use it as motivation, keep it as a memory, track it for progress.
Everyone is welcome in cycling. Live and let live.
...or don't and do what everyone is good at... complaining.
