I'm not entirely sure how much I really ride... I'd guess between 5-10K/year. I currently have 13K miles on the totals on my garmin, but I'm not sure when it had it's last reset and whether or not that wipes the totals... I can say there are few weeks I ride less than around 100 miles and plenty that I do more.
1. What kind of bicycle(s) do you ride?
I have road and cross bikes
2. Do you do anything except ride during the riding season? (work, clean house, cook, take care of parents, etc.)
I work, cook and keep the house moderately clean...
3. Do you ride in bad weather? What kind of weather will you not ride in? (i.e., severe downpour, high winds, temperate, etc.)
very little keeps me in - really high winds I don't go out for pleasure, but my commute is my commute.... no matter the weather
4. Do you have apparel to ride in all kinds of weather?
lots of it...
5. Do you ride at night? (something I absolutely refuse to do)
yup - I commute and during the winter here it doesn't get light until around 8 and gets dark at 4:30
6. Do you use clipless pedals? Does anyone only use plain pedals?
yup - on all of my bikes
7. How many mph do you average? If I average between 11 mph and 12 mph do I have any hope of ever achieving a goal of 1000+ during a riding season?
I don't use clipless or straps - - - yet.
irrelevant
8. Do you ride mostly on trails or on roads?
roads
9. Are the trails/roads or flat, hilly, steep hilly, or mixture?
a mix - it's Seattle, there are few truly flat places
10. Do you do most of your riding alone, with someone else, or in groups?
some of each
Any other things you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. I would like to increase my measly 500 miles to at least 1500 next year!
I use my bikes as vehicles - I rarely drive unless it's totally unavoidable. That gets me out riding quite a lot.
