A decade of cycling: 39045 miles

It is ten years to the day since I first fitted a cycle computer to my GT road bike. I was an undergraduate, living in Bounds Green, and at the beginning of my on/off obsession with cycling. Since that day, I have nearly cycled 40,000 miles on four different bikes:

25 May 2003-25 May 2013

Cycling mileage:                        39045 miles in total

By bicycle:
GT ('retired'):                            10300 miles
Trek (awaiting resurrection):      17801 miles
Condor:                                     9872 miles       
Cervelo:                                    1072 miles

Averages:

3904.5 miles average per year (for 10 years)
75 miles average per week (for 520 weeks)
10.685 miles average per day (for 3654 days)

It should be borne in mind I was a much more active cyclist for the first five years of the past decade (perhaps owing to the fact I was a long term student!):

25 May 2003-25 May 2008: 27883 miles (5576 miles per year average)
25 May 2008-25 May 2013: 11162 miles (2232.4 miles per year average)

Miles cycled in 2013 so far: 1449 miles (just a mile away from a 10 mile a day average)
