Cycling mileage vs motor vehicle mileage

Or 52:15, given that we're doing ratios, so might as well simplify.

No idea what mine is, might try work it out later

I don't own a car but I do use the wife's car sometimes to go to the local supermarket/shops or bring my son to football training. If the weather is particularly bad I'd use the car for my 4km commute rather than arrive soaked - only once since the return to office in September which is great - especially as the commute by car takes 30mins on a school day vs 13 mins on the bike. In total I reckon I do less than 30km in the car per week.

I use the bikes mostly for leisure spins and currently Strava has me at 270km per week.

I live next door to a secondary school which makes the traffic particularly nuts close to the house. I see kids (teenagers) that I know from the area who live well within 2km of the school that get driven. And they don't even get dropped outside the gates - they get driven into the school yard. That said, plenty walk and cycle but I reckon many more could too but don't for various reasons(lazy perhaps? perception of danger? heavy bags?).

This year so far

30000 car

5000 bike.

6:1

But next year be more like 12000 car.

2:1 if I get the finger out......

Usually 60-100 km a week on the bike. 0-40 km a week on the bus. Basically I take the bus at the weekend if I’m being lazy.

I cycle to work during the week when I'm not working remote, and try to do any errands by bike when I am remote, so works out at 15-20km a day cycling, 2 to 3 days a week. I only drive at the weekends, and usually it is to my parents, 95km away, but that's only once every two weeks or so. So my weekly average is ~150km driving to ~40km cycling. which is a ratio of about 15:4.

When remote working ends my cycling should double, so 15:8. looking at that, I need to up my weekend cycling, but that's a job for the new year and charity cycle training.

Mine is skewered somewhat due to living in Dublin during the week and living in Wexford the weekends, and kids and grandsons living in Westmeath, This adds about 12k km to my driving, but its worth it big time.

This year , driving/ cycling ratio will be near to 3:1 due to missing 3 months off bike (back issues 1 month, vertigo 2 months ). Best year was about 2.5 :1

25k km on car and 10k km on bike.

Jesus, is it worth having a car for 10-30kms per weeks? It would be far cheaper to utilise taxis. (I might only use my car one or two days a week but I'd often put up 600kms in it in a single day.

Got rid of the car 5 years ago and now cycle everywhere. I do about 150km cycling a week.

Yes, but do you have access to another car in the household? I occasionally hear lads saying they've given up the car but they don't say that they have another car in the household that they can access if required. Not really the same as such. Not saying that giving up one car isn't a good thing.
