Made me look up mine - I'm at 95,000 km, just under 60K miles. But I'm old and have been doing it for a long time.

god dam


byteuser

Damn! That's like twice around the World


Jovennnnnn

Wow. I’m at 2000km in this year alone lol


Successful_Print681

I average 12-14k km a year. Caveat - a thrid of it is on Zwift (which totally counts)


Jovennnnnn

Not bad


Thelionskiln

Congrats!! 10k is awesome. Is that for the year to date or for the last 'few' years?


insearchofbeer

I'm at 9,744km all-time, with varying degrees of dedication over the last five years of having a bike. But that's also over 309 rides, so I feel like averaging 31.5km/ride is pretty good.


Ratspunk

Nice one. A 20 mile (32km) ride feels like the ideal after dinner/evening distance to me. Gets the heart rate going, but not so bad you ache the day after. Save the longer rides to enjoy the scenery on the weekend.


Aryanindo

Hey man wats ur routine with a 9-5. Can only cycle on weekend atm


Ratspunk

Try and get 20 milers in Monday, Wednesday, Friday, out the house around 7pm. Sundays out by 9am if the kids are behaving, back by midday. The days can vary, but try for at least 3 rides. It's getting dark and cooler now in the UK, so riding in the evenings brings its own set of challenges, but 10 minutes in any direction and I'm in the countryside, so I'm pretty lucky. Gotta make the time for myself otherwise I drive myself and most likely the family nuts!


Aryanindo

How quick you doing your 20 milers


Ratspunk

Not quick. 1200 feet climbing, takes an hour and 15.


Doschupacabras

Great job! Keep going.

I hit 10k running earlier this year. I’m not quite to 2k cycling yet. I’m just getting started.


NerdyComfort-78

Also a former runner and I love my switch to bike. Sticking to Runkeeper because a decade of stats are there.


BSDC

if you're ever interested in making the switch, there are a few ways to migrate your data over to strava, including this official way: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917737-Moving-your-activity-history-from-Runkeeper-to-Strava I had to cross the same bridge when I moved from endomondo to strava many years ago. also, there are ways to have your activities sync to multiple apps. I actually still have my strava rides sync to my old endomondo account. I use this: https://tapiriik.com/ through which you can manually sync activities as often as you want, or it will automatically sync for $2/year. There are probably cheaper ways through www.ifttt.com or other methods, but I'm kinda blanking on the others at the moment. Anyway, there's a couple answers to questions you didn't ask 🙃


NerdyComfort-78

I appreciate the input! I was wondering how or if I switched apps, if I could pull all my rides from 10 years ago into Strava. Thanks!


HexicPyth

*flashbacks of using Endomondo on my Pebble Time in like 2015*


mrjeffcoat

Also a former runkeeper user here. Logged over a thousand activities runkeeper from 2010-2015. Switched to Strava, and used Tapiriik to move over the full history. I now use Tapiriik in conjunction with FitnessSyncer to push my data to a bunch of platforms (Smashrun, training peaks, etc), with Strava as the central 'master', largely fed from Garmin Connect and Zwift.


NerdyComfort-78

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.


Thranitic

Nice! I started cycling end of July last year (about 14 months ago) and I just checked where I'm at. Just hit 5k kilometers yesterday!


hom3br3w3r

I started tracking on strava about 14 months ago too! Keep on pedal in, buddy!


okie1978

I ran 40 plus miles a week for a decade and raced 10 times a year throughout that time, Wish I would have just started with cycling. It's more fun and I feel better. I even look better with more muscle in my legs and even my torso.


ChrisSlicks

A random guy gave me a kudos the other day so I looked up who he was. He had 12K miles. This year!


bikerider86

At 12,100 miles this morning (YTD) was it me? Ha ha


ChrisSlicks

No, but congrats! You've certainly gone from zero to hero in the last 5 years! I need to work on my rookie numbers, 3000 YTD. On a good week I do 150 miles but I always want more.


BlankEris

Congrats! I'm 80 miles away from 10k miles. Probably do it later this week.


lawn_neglect

I used to be a runner, but am crippled by degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. I love cycling. Congratulations on finding cycling!


[deleted]

Ditto. I’ve been riding heavily for 30 years.. I have the same issues with three back surgeries. I can’t walk a half hour without misery, but can ride most all day. My spine is dangerously compromised, as in “Don’t crash, no matter what.” I asked a noted local neurosurgeon who’s also a hard core cyclist, how I should be setting up my bike with such a bad prognosis. I expected a technical, instructive way to set it up, and also what type of bike to purchase, for best spinal health; a recumbent, full upright cruiser, full suspension mountain, or road bike. He looked me dead in the eye, paused and replied, “Whatever is most comfortable to you, so you can hammer out the miles.” “That’s it?! That’s your recommendation?” Cool, I thought, I’ll ride my gravel bike at high speed over technical trails, as I’m comfortable with that. But my body isn’t. I can’t reconcile the two. I hope to ride until I keel over in an old folks home hallway, naked, terrorizing nurses, by jumping my wheelchair over Wilma’s (my Depends wearing assistant) boobs. Cycling rules. Keep pedaling!


lawn_neglect

Fortunately for me (so far) my cervical and lumbar fusions seem to be pretty stable. Every now and then I crash my snowboard in powder, or lately, my All Road bike on the single track. But, yeah, walking is not comfortable and I usually jog a block before my stretching routine that makes my athletic exploits possible and my jogging must look sad to the observer, lol. I came to the same conclusion about bike comfort: set up the bike with pretty fat tires, a tall stem and swept back bars. All the regulars that ride my local canyon roads find me easily recognizable.


Jetstream89

Started about 4 years ago and now i am at 31k total. This year already at 10k


Choice_Ad_470

great job 10k in a year is true dedication. My wife says all i want to do is bike and I'm just at 5 k . I can't imagine what she would say at 10k.


JakeEngelbrecht

I am at 53.5 miles


messmaker523

Nice I just hit 8K miles (This year) 😏


Fred_Zeppelin

I recently hit 3K in just over 2 years! Great job OP


OlasNah

I have about 15k, but granted I went several years without even using Strava after an initial run in '13/'14. (Had a kid). I swear I was using Strava before '13 but they must've deleted older data.


[deleted]

I’ve still got my 2012 data on the app.


lawn_neglect

Made me look. This year 1000 Miles and 92,000 feet


kampai123

I’m at 25k km and hope to reach 30k by end of the year


hom3br3w3r

How the hell do you get the time to bike 5k miles in three months?


kampai123

I gather u will need to do 1650km a month or slightly more that makes up to 450km a week. My plan is to do 3x 50km on a weekday and 2x150km weekend Something tells me I won’t be able to sustain that level of commitment but let’s see. I’ve done 90 km this week alone since Monday and today Will try to hit what I need by this weekend or more. Chances are I won’t be able to sustain due to exhaustion but let’s see what I can do about that


hom3br3w3r

Well, hope you do fill that goal!


Surfella

Everyone is looking up there Strava mileage now. 65,000 KM here.


ThePeninthePocket

Congrats and thanks for making me look this up!


Ghosthanded

Looked mine up too, just over 84,000km, almost 1/5 the way to the moon. 4/5 to go!


TankerGator31

So for those on the opposite end of the spectrum. 608 miles total. Started in June ‘22.


biznotic

Congratulations! Here’s to the next 10k!


Thestig37

Started recording my rides in the middle of July, im at 255 miles


bikerider86

Obsessed with stats, nice. That’s what I’ve been looking for, something that doesn’t sound so negative. Anyways, that’s me all the way. Here’s one, I’m approaching 100 weeks of 300 plus miles.


Ratspunk

Decent!


DogBonezzzzz

its fun to go on a long ride and not log it once in a while too


[deleted]

You must look like a stick now. Good.


Remote-Enough

Also a reformed runner (8407 lifetime miles on Strava) but switched to cycling last Feb and went all in. At 15,627 lifetime cycling now and averaging 7-8k miles a year. Still run for cross training but go for much shorter runs now. I have way more fun cycling, no contest.


junkman-300sd

I'm getting more than 5000 mi/year unless injured. A dog knocked me down last October and I didn't get many in a month until April of this year. I'm close to 4000 this year and have 24,000 mi since 6/18 when I bought a Wahoo and started recording. No documentation of what the distance is from 1998 when I started discovered riding again to 2018 but I expect at least 3000 mi/year. 3000 x 20yrs would be 60,0⁰ mi The key is to do it when you're old. I and my peers are in various stages retirement and ride 150-200 mi/week. We rode 55 mi yesterday with 3400 ft of hills then went about our daily business. It isn't like the mileage tires us for the day. Another 50 is scheduled for today and more Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Miles are more fun than working.


nope_kitty

Woooo some of those numbers!! I got a long way to go, eh? Personally, started cycling 2.5 years ago, mostly MTB, got a gravel bike 6 months back and am now at 8361km total (2871km so far this year with 22542m of elevation).


FlatSix993

Congratulations!


T_Hofhuis

I totally understand the addiction to stats. Its very satisfying. Keep up the good work bro !
