What's the average life on brake pads?

RE: What's the average life on brake pads?
I just replace mine at the same time that I replace the rear tire. Sometimes it's close other times not so much but I'm there, so I just do it. Now days the bearings are sealed but before they started doing that, it was a good time to grease them as well. Just rule of thumb for me, may be different for others.

I use by rear brake in gravel and stoping at red lights/stop signs; I am a small guy so i can not sit flat footed at red lights/stop signs. My rear lasted to 10,000 miles and the front are the factory installed at 17,000 miles. I still had some pads left at 10,000 miles. You can check them easily by removing the bag in the rear.

I still have original rear brake pads at about 60,000 miles and still look good. I replaced the fronts at 16,000 miles for some lyndall brake pads and the originals would still be good if I had not replaced them they barely had any wear. the Lyndalls are a little softer but a whole lot quieter and better feel are about shot with ~44,000 miles on them. Now on my work bike it is a whole other story rears ~6000 maybe less and fronts a bit longer but not much. Like someone else said all depends on how you ride/drive.
