Cycling to driving ratio

[gavroche]

Sadly, I drive 22,000 miles a year and cycle about 2,000 miles.

That's about me too but not sadly as I enjoy both driving and cycling. Cars are great and so are bicycles. They both have their uses and wouldn't like to be without either.

I live in the sticks, so driving's not such a chore - but it becomes one.

When I stopped driving to work, driving the odd journey in the evening or at a weekend became a pleasure again, rather than just another chore.

I've been car less for 44 years and can't say I've ever missed it.

Really tough getting my car parked down my street, even tougher finding it only use it at the weekend and can never remember where I parked it last, I do know this week it is to the left as I have not passed it coming home on the bike!

I've been out 64 times in the car this year, and I have done 69 bike rides.

Can't give you figures, but I only drive at the weekend (OH is usually dead of his feet and it is safer if I drive) and usually just the one day. rest of the time I cycle to get everywhere much to people's continued amazement. I just wish the dr's had not nicked 4 viles of blood from my arm this morning, the bruise is hurting now and I so much wanted to complete my target before November ended. Missed it by 9km - still there is always December!

I leave off doing these calculations until the long dark nights of winter.
