Since September 2007, I have ridden 10,000 miles. I'm trying to think of a fun way to commemorate this occasion. Any creative ideas?

ice cream. new bike. trip to Paris.
(great news, by the way!)
congrats, I was all proud of myself that since June, when I bought a cateye, I had gone 1000k...but 10,000miles, I am a long way off. Very cool!
Maybe buy yourself a new cyclocomputer
If you love the bike you have, get it striped! Some decorative paint to celebrate, maybe your name and the dates you started/hit 10,000 on?
Congrats! Well done!
Congrats!
Ice Cream, for sure! And a special bath for your bike :)
Congratulations on the achievement. Give yourself something special. You deserve it!
Wow. Awesome! Congrats...Quote:

My goodness, that's almost 670 miles per month! :eek:
How do you get the time, I struggle to get in 100 miles per month.
Anyway a MASSIVE big congrats, it's amazing.
So, have you decided what to get or give yourself?

New saddle! :D
(Awesome awesome awesome accomplishment!)

Now THAT's a good idea! How many miles do saddles last, generally? I haven't noticed any serious degradation (except for cosmetic wearing of decals), but then I don't remember how it felt 5,000 miles ago, either...Quote:

oh, definitely a new saddle. And write something underneath it to commemorate! Once you're sure you have The saddle, of course.
Congratulations, terrific milestone! :)
go on a bike ride?
:cool:
a new saddle when you've got one that works? I wouldn't - unless it's the same model (then I'd get two or three :) )
Definitely a bike ride to some place special with people special to do soemthing special.
