Congrats, thinktubes. What maintenance/replaced parts got the Schwinn through 3,000 miles last year?

thinktubes 

Thanks!

New tires early in the season, new chain around the mid-point. Had a bottle cage break in November. Also changed from 48T to 50T and trued the wheels.

Due for an overhaul this winter. Coming up on 10K since I built it up in late 2017. Just got 5” of snow, so riding is on hold for a while.

I need to to make a more serious commitment to do more riding in 2022, I have been stuck around 4K for the past 5 years.

Congrats to all who got out on the bike(s) regularly, maintaining their physical and mental health!

I had a good year, putting 8882 miles on my modest collection of bikes. That's a good year for me, and it included many rides with friends. One noteworthy aspect to this year is that I was able to do a bit of regional traveling and get out on roads I don't see much. A favorite area is St. Louis, about 3 hours south of me. There is a good bike trail running along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers that offer scenic views.....



Steve in Peoria, hoping for more opportunities to see new roads in 2022!

Congrats indeed! I just read an article touting what we already know, but going beyond with new studies showing that, even if one isn’t losing weight (as some desire), they get the same health benefits - reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, lowered cholesterol, longer life, etc., etc., etc. In fact, it just seams downright dangerous not to ride a bike! (It didn’t say anything about n+1…)

Regardless of goals, may the new year bring you many happy miles!

With all the rain in California in December, the miles were on the bike were down, but the swimming yards were way up.

Same goal as last year, well probably the last 4 year, is 4500 miles. Once retirement comes in 2 or 3 years I hope to up it significantly.

It looks like I am already behind my previous years.

I'm shooting for 500/month so 6K for the year again. I'm already falling behind, but hopefully I can catch up

And I was feeling like a slacker for not squeezing out an extra 3 miles to get 400 for July

nlerner

Hah! Well, I don't track commuting and errand-running miles, somewhere around 50-100 per month depending (less in winter, more in warmer temps), so no point in rounding up!

Vonruden

352 for July, mostly single speed.

Rotten

268.77 for July. Starting a new job this month so don't know how August is going to go.

Put in 346 for August. Went to Maine for 5 days and had visitors for a weekend. 400-mile months have been elusive this season.

Gotta love Strava, otherwise I'd have no idea. I also feel a 'little' guilty about including virtual rides, but my legs can't tell the difference (ok, they can). I also spent a good bit of June & July paddleboarding and kayaking, so at least I've been moving. :-)

August: 285.2
YTD: 2045

nlerner

I was right around 400 miles for August. Didn’t even track mileage on my last ride of the month! Would have liked to have been around 500-600 miles, but it wasn’t in the cards. For the year, I’m around 3K.

steelbikeguy

1160 miles for August. That might be too much for me to be doing ... might be best to have more recovery time. A lot depends on whether I'm riding with my fast friends or my slower friends.
5989 miles for the year to date.

Steve in Peoria (been fortunate to have had reasonable weather in August)

286 for September. Work has been busy lately.

nlerner

My Sept was 345 miles, not terrible considering that I mostly had time to ride once per week. That doesn’t include commuting and errand running, which is about 50 more. For the year, I’m at about 3,100.

obrentharris 

September was my low mileage month so far this year due to some family commitments: 251 miles.
I'm at 3,664 miles for the year, so if I can bring my monthly average up a little I might make 5,000 for the year.

It's been an off year for me hue to motivation. The usual 30 to 40 mile weekend rides have turned into 20. Hopefully it's just a temporary thing and not a sign of getting to old to go the distance.

I have had 4000+ miles every year for the past 15, probably won't happen this year.

September 302 miles, 2606 for the year.

Only got out 3 times in October. Going through a crazy reorg at work. Biking helps, hope to get around 2200 for the season.

My October was 418 miles, which included about 28 miles on Zwift. That puts me at about 3,500 for the year. I don’t think I’ll be getting to 5K this year!
