I ride 93 miles to work (round trip) almost daily. My only exception is if it is raining when it's time to go. I don't mind getting wet on the way home but being wet at work sucks.

Around 30 a day. Took off and rode through the White Mountains, NH the past 2 days and did over 600 miles.

It depends. If I'm just riding to the office and don't get "detoured," under five miles in a day. If I'm going to be in court in another county or counties, up to one hundred and fifty miles in a day. I'm usually in court 3-4 times a week.

I'm one of the lucky ones, and can ride everyday if I want.

Made some very wise investment decisions years ago, and now I no longer have to work "a normal job".

I don't check mileage on a daily basis, but average around 25,000 miles a year on my bikes.

I work from home but try to get some riding in every day. If I have to run into town, I take the bike if at all humanly possible as long as it's not raining when I leave. I spent the day on it Wednesday, riding around town carrying three pistols and 200rds of .45ACP while doing some shoppin' and swappin'. Traded my Glock 19 for a Springfield XD .45 Tactical model and went to the range. Good times!

About 220 or so a week. Would be more if I could find time to ride that wasn't while commuting.

35 miles round trip to work unless raining when I leave, and whenever I can slip in a ride after work or on the weekends.
