Now that is a real cheating questionThe burning question is ... should you include mileagefrom your electric bike, while on a turbo, in your annual mileage totals?

Depends on why you're riding your bike. If it's to get fit and stay fit, what's the point of having an electrical assist?
If it's to get somewhere as comfortably as possible then electrical assist is sensible.
So why no objection towards every ebike journey? Why only commuting type?I ride my (unassisted) bike because I enjoy it, and because I can go a lot further than batteries would allow. Nothing much to do with keeping fit.
I'd have no particular objection to an E-bike for commuting-type journeys, etc.
It doesn't- I was just expressing my own view like you just did- everyone's different. If that offends then so be it. Cheers!Why does it need to depend on some arbituary rule made up by a bunch of nobodies on when, why and who can ride a certain bike??? Who gives anyone the right to judge another based on their chosen ride??
No - you stated it depends on type of riding.....why does it??It doesn't- I was just expressing my own view like you just did- everyone's different. If that offends then so be it. Cheers!

So in your view, you have to have a reason for riding an ebike?? Can’t just go and buy one like you can with any other bike???? It's just my view jowwy... this isn't a courtroom- just saying.
So why not say “ I personally prefer to road a pedal bike as I get more enjoyment from it, but if I was commuting then an ebike could be an option”I'm just giving my personal preferences. I don't wish to judge what anyone else does.
Nah....same as fitting any other bikeReckon it'd be difficult to fit the ebike on the turbo - how about rollers?
An electric assist bike can also be used to get fit and stay fit. You just lower the assistance or switch it off. But it is still there if you want a leisurely ride. I had one for 2 years and it was good fun. I was still riding 200+kms a week on my road bike. But it was good to have an easy ride to work.Depends on why you're riding your bike.

Or should turbo miles be included in your annual mileage at all? How can it be mileage if you don't go anywhere :0)The burning question is ... should you include mileage from your electric bike, while on a turbo, in your annual mileage totals?
