It depends on which bike I am riding. I have no computer on my mtb. Miles don't add up very quickly off-road so I've just never bothered to put one on. I have no computer on my touring/commuting bike. That one, I ride till I get where I am going. Doesn't matter how fast, doesn't matter how far. I DO have a computer on my speedy little road bike. It seems to require one. Each to a different purpose. Obviously, I do not keep count of my yearly mileage. That is very freeing for me. There were many years when I'd ride around the block to get those extra couple of miles to reach a certain goal. It mattered to me then. It doesn't now. Just riding is enough. We're all different. Whatever gets you out there riding - that's what matters.
