Default What Percent of Your Annual Miles Are On Your Bike?

I've seen a lot of posts about how many miles a year people put on their bikes, but I don't think I've seen a post about what percentage of miles people put on their bikes per year. I average about 6,000 miles a year on my bike, but I only put 3,000 miles a year on my truck. This means about 2/3s or 66.6% of my miles are on my bike. How about you?

I put about 10,000 on my bike and under 5000 on my car, if it wasn't for Wisconsin winters it would be morelike 13,000 vs. 2000.

I put about 8,000/year on my truck, 10,000/year on my EGU & now RGU, and 9-10,000/year on my FLHTP (All urban/city miles).

I average about 100 miles a week with daily work commute and weekend errands on the cage....so about 5200 miles annually. I ride the Harley from early March to mid-November, so about 8.5 months. Last "season" I put about 12K on the odometer. Clearly I ride the bike more than in the cage.

Bought my little truck in dec 09 and have put 3500 miles on it. Have had the sporty four 4 years, about 9000, FX since oct 08 12K and the flhrc since may of 2010 almost 20k. Even rode most of last winter, a mild one. So yeah the bikes get miles. S10 is a grocery getter.

as a percentage, probably 40 - 45% goes to the bike. Winter in Alberta sucks....!

About 40% bikes and 60% cage. I'd like to ride more, but winter gets in the way.
