[Closed] Your most-ridden bike?

At the moment, it's my Brompton. Nipping in to the village, up to the train station, around London, etc. Only reason I don't take it to the pub is that the pub is in walking distance!

In similar vein, my 7 yr old Roadrat - used for commuting off-road 3-4 days a week. Meanwhile my MTBs get far less use.

It’s why I don’t mind having hand-me-down bits of bling on the Roadrat: I ride it enough to make it worthwhile. More than a commuting tool for me.

TBH they all (7) get ridden fairly evenly, though recently it been the turbo Levo due to injury/recovery. Biggest miles for the year is either Pivot 429SL (lots of miles per ride) or Specialized Sequoia (lots of commute rides per mile)

varies but currently the Winter SS - though the commuter wins over the year-

My on one 456. Winter filth and riding with my kids makes it by far the most used.

I have a nice FS that is woefully under used. That needs to change, which really means I need to stop saving it for dry days and big rides and go ride the dam thing.

Planet X cx bike for about the last six months followed by my norco cx, to the extent the full sus wasn't even useable when I went to the shed last week pre-Swinley

That needs to change, which really means I need to stop saving it for dry days and big rides and go ride the dam thing.

yeh... I suffer from that! The SS CX is a lot of fun though on the trails close to home.

depends...
CX bike gets ridden less often but more miles per ride and more miles total
Rocket gets ridden more times but fewer miles per ride/total
Soul got ridden by far the most miles and rides if I widen "recently" to go back a year or so
Road bike got ridden a whopping 15 miles this year, but total miles trounces the rest put together, because it is 28 years old, and has been ridden enough miles to go round the earth

Yep it's the beaten up Surly Troll 'life bike'. It get used for commuting, shopping, socialising and weekend days out in the countryside. It probably does 10x the amount of miles of all the other bikes (and my van!) combined.

[url= https://photos.app.goo.gl/FqZAtBsbLqoHI09r1 ]This[/url] has done 26,076.5 miles according to strava, and still going strong.

Ritchey Swiss cross disc ridden most times and miles this year and don't expect that to change anytime soon

Past year it has been my Surly KM Ops.

Most ridden bike is my Specialized allez , it works and keeps working despite the winter filth.

And it cost a lot less than the summer road bike or the mtb

Fixed wheel road bike. Then probably the race bike, then winter road bike, best bike, cross bike and trike.

TT fits in their somewhere too as I did some long hours in the saddle and commuted to work on it for after work races. Mtb and track bikes won't figure this year 🙁

10 year old Gary fisher cobia keep looking at new bikes but it just works for my really flat terrain around here and the geo is good. closely followed this time of year by my "I don't want to get cold and wet and clean the cobia" road bike.

This year it’s been my Sonder Camino.

Whichever bike is dirty is the one that gets used most

Brompton baby!

I commute on my fatbike, but then I only live next door to work...

cx bike.

Cotic escapade in off road mode. Great for the miles of gravel tracks here.

Day one singlespeed

On-one Parkwood 29er.

I ride this dispiriting thing almost every day, 7 minutes down the hill and 10 back up:

🙂

my kona rove al .

commuter , tourer and occasional cross bike

Having 4 bikes with fundamentally interchangeable parts means I can build pretty much anything. This year's incarnations which have been ridden to death are an Olympic-spec short travel FS and an 'aggressive' long-travel HT.

The fat bike comes out from time-to-time and smokes them both

Pub bike.

Unfortunately it is my Road bike / commuter.

If I could rely on my MTB being at the station when I got back to it I'd ride that every day

This bad boy!
Singlespeed rigid Ragley blue pig.
Gets used mainly for mucking around with the kids, taking them to school or bombing down shop. Sometimes BMX track.

The town bike, shopping, errands etc. It's now much rustier and more beaten-up than in this old pic - but still keeps going. I tend now to 'wash' it with rust brush and GT85 😳

I've ridden more miles on the fatbike over the whole of 2017, because of often extending my commute home from work, but also because I only got my road bike in May.

At the weekend I happened to check what distance I'd done on the various bikes this year, turns out I've done most riding on the Cotic Solaris, then it's the Croix de Fer which is my commuter/winter road bike then the Spesh Roubaix which is my summer road bike.

Might not currently be that clean...

Although mainly running to and from work at the moment, so it's generally only used once or twice a week.

Cheers, Rich

Mine, fortunately, is my Tripster, the most expensive bike I've ever owned by a long way.
Used so much it lives in the front room and hardly ever goes back in the garage.

Long travel 29er here.

Probably in distance covered as well as time spent in the saddle.

I spend about 15 hours a week on my commuter, no way any of my other bikes will get close to that.

World's least logical commuter bike! But it is fun.

This year:
By mileage - My Sensa road bike, it's my summer bike and has running as taken up a large part of this year the only big rides I've done have been on this. Worryingly, my PX Kaffenback which lives entirely on the turbo is a rather close second place.

By number of uses - Kona MinUte cargo bike. 2 or 3 times per week it goes down to the shops and is used to run errands. It'll be overtaken by my Paddy Wagon which is my commuter bike for 3 or 4 days per week but as I only got half way through the year so it's not there yet.

My Camber - I'm probably going to sell my road bike, it gets so little use
[IMG] [/IMG]

only got 2 bikes, a road bike (cube agree), and a mountain bike (orbea rallon), the orbea gets by far the most use.

Drop bar elderly Roadrat, resplendent in an immortal 9 speed mix of 105 and XT,cable disc's,full guard's and 28mm road tyres. Does my commuting duties, and in the dark month's, evening and weekend riding. My MTB only now really comes out on sunny cold and frosty weekend day's. I mainly revert to the road over winter. The Rat has been with me about 10 year's, and I got it second hand. Can't really say I love it, but somehow has seen many other bikes come and go, so it must have something.

Saracen Hack - bought second hand 4.5 years ago. Daily commuter, often taking in a mixed-terrain route. Road bike. Thrasher around local trails. Tourer (for my son's trips to the Western Isles). Dirty Reiver 'weapon'. 3 Peaks CX mount. Must have covered in excess of 20k km's in that time. Must have spent double what I paid for it on replacement / worn out parts. Always been just a wee bit too long, but we've adapted to each other in that time. Its just been a really, really dependable and enjoyable bike ...

Kona Ute - do school run with kids, then ride the rest of the way to work. indestructible.

the commuter track bike comes next for the days (Monday) that I'm not ferrying the kids

road and mountain on the weekends only

I have a plan to flog both the ute and the track (or dismantle) and get CX because the kids are just about walking age

Commuter bike > HT MTB > FS MTB

In the 4 years or so I've been keeping track of these things, my commuting bike (MK1 RoadRat mainly, other bikes have come and gone) has done twice the miles of all the others pretty much.

Crush 2,319.9
Five 1,106.3
Roadrat 10,680.8
456 (RIP) 2,652.6
Nicolai (RIP)519.7

I need to do more MTBing! 🙂

Most ridden by miles is the Trek Super[s]fly[/s]commuter which has also been standing in as a road/gravel bike and my CX race bike (amazing what a change of tyres can do...).

[img] [/img]

Rapidly catching up however is the commuter, which I ride far more often but typically only 40-50km a day.

[img] [/img]

Think the Trek will edge further ahead after this weekend, got a 150km loop planned (snow permitting) but the Charge should close that gap for Christmas.

My Remedy 29- it's the right tool for any of my riding apart from commuting. The fatbike gets a lot of use too though.

It ought to be my boardman hybrid but I can't be arsed riding to work just now

My 10 year old Santa Cruz Superlight has seen most use this year as it's my local woodland bike and is helping inspire me back to fitness after illness. My Bronson isn't far behind but will always be used less because it needs techy trails to be worth riding and it's pretty flat round here. Road bike only gets a look in if I get dragged out by mates, never my choice

In terms of current use, because all I have been doing is commuting, it is hands-down my CX (2016 Rapide RL Disc 2).

For sheer number of miles in the last year, however, it has got to be my 2014 Wilier GTR.

Surly Disc Trucker.

Expected just to use it for camping weekends and the odd big trip.
Thing is, it fits so well and is so much fun to ride, despite the weight, that I use it for pretty much everything.

Got home from work about 8 last night and rode it around the block, less than five minutes, just because it's fun.

Swift 29 rigid closely followed by my CX, the full on MTB just not getting out at the mo. I wonder if I’m calming down with age 😕

29er hardtail from big xc trip and commuting, but the 27+ rigid has won most of the MTB time..and may catch up as winter commuter now that its slop offroad, and frosty on.

Makes me feel good to realise that the road, cx, full suss and brompton have all been ridden a fair amount this year too....right tool for the job and all that 🙂

26" daily commute bike, trigger's broom. Since last time I posted a picture of it here, have removed the dropper post, and gone from 26-36-48t to a single 34t front gearing. And added lights + frame bag for battery. Might add mudguards if I start getting wet more than once a week.

On One SingleSpeed put together as an experiment for £150 ten years ago. A few other bikes but it’s the most used!
