Default How many miles per year do you ride?

I know that everyone has different amounts of time that they can spend in the saddle. But I'm just curious, about how many miles do you put on your bike in a year?

I average about 13K a year with 77K now on my 07. It still runs and rides great!

Averaging about 10K a year and that has been constant since I started riding in 2007. Would get more miles in but work and chores around the house tend to get in my way.

A little over 10k a year. Would like to increase that, but my wife doesn't get as much time off off as I do. I am considering going cross country alone, have her fly to meet me somewhere and ride home.

I put 14K on last year, on track to do the same this year. I've ridden at least once in every month since February 2011, not too shabby for Michigan

I cummute with my bike (about 100 miles/day) and my wife and I try to go for a couple of rides together each month on the weekends. I average about 20K/year.
