[RBW] 2019 stats? Post'em if ya got'em
Dorothy, sounds like you are living the dream to me!? 4 Rivendells, no waiting. I expect you have the problem I frequently find myself with which is the bike I am riding may not be the one I want to ride, but the one that doesn't need a flat fixed or some other maintenance done! 藍 Along the lines of Patrick's story, several years ago I passed an older gentleman who was pushing his bike up a small hill ( I SO wish I had taken his picture). I thought he had a mechanical, so I stopped to check on him. He said "no problem, I just can't get up these hills anymore like I used to. The doctor told me to ride a bike for my heart so I bought this bike". Judging by the bike that was probably 30 years ago! Then he said "I'm 86 I can't go as good anymore" I said "your doing better than me, I'll be worm dirt WAY before 86!"

Mileage was modest, but I'm proud to report that I (just barely) topped 50,000 ft. of climbing in 2019. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Kai, I'm so sorry about your injury. May you have a speedy recovery without any complications or long term negative effects! My daughter lives in Brooklyn so I'm familiar with your riding environment. Almost five thousand miles in 2019 primarily on the streets of NYC is definitely well earned! Enviable? Yes. Kudos to you!!!

Kai, awful. That is an impressive log of miles, and I’m so sorry it was cut short. I’m curious about what caused your crash (you don’t have to answer) and what happened next. Could you get yourself to the ER? What did you do with your bike? Did bystanders help you? Is your bike still rideable? I wish you a speedy recovery and hope this doesn’t discourage you from riding your bike. So sorry!

Strava, which I try to use most of the time says 4638 miles for the year, so around 5 g's with some nondigitized rolls. Unfortunately cut short due to a majorly mashed right clavicle on November 27th, necessitating 8 screws and a titanium collarbone lug/splint. Minus a long day with the 25th anniversary Riv ride crew and some Northern Bronx routes, my miles were accrued on the streets of NYC, so maybe not always enviable but well earned miles nonetheless...

I realize there a few hours left, but I am unlikely to move the needle any before the end of the day so I'll go first. First 2018 was a highwater mark for me so I was unlikely to match the 2,700+ miles I did last year. I had some challenges at the beginning of the year which likely killed my totals, but overall I feel positive going into the next decade. Total 2,400 miles 1,045 of that was on my Radwagon E-bike. I am hesitant to include those miles at all, except that those are miles that I would have had to otherwise use my car. So you can put an Asterisk next to them if you like, but I'll call it a win. That still leaves a fairly respectable 1,355 miles. Split amongst a dozen or so different bikes. Next to my e-bike the next highest mileage total was on the Eastern Growler, 26" BMX Cruiser I call Big Baby, because she's pink. 226 miles 3rd surprisingly is my Clementine @ 223 miles! I say surprisingly, because I just don't feel like I ride it that much and less than I otherwise would because it's too awkwardly big to take on the train. 4th. Crust Bombora, well honestly when you consider I've only been riding this a few months this year it really should be like #2 I ride it ALL THE TIME! I ride it so much that I make a concerted effort to ride other bikes, just so they get ridden. Of note the next in mileage is my stainless steel SOMA Triple Cross. Notable, because even though I don't ride it as often as I'd like when I do ride it, it's typically on the more epic range. 20+ miles per trip. The down side of having quite a few bikes, is that some don't get ridden more. My Atlantis would probably be up near the top, except it spent a considerable time with a rear flat thats resisted fixing. Oddly my mileage has dropped for reasons that seem somewhat contradictory; I got laid off from my job that was 13.4 miles from my house and the new job is 16.3 miles from the house. The rub is that this additional 3 miles each way adds considerable time & effort to a commute that was already challenging. This was one reason I got the E-bike and why it's chocked up so many miles. I just couldn't spend the time to ride to work as much. Anywayz, what's your story? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
