How many of us are there?

I got a genesis day-one last December, and have been riding it ever since. On a 46-18 (700-28) tyre 68.3 gear inches. I've cycled about 1300 miles so far this year and have loved every minute.
About a 50/50 split commuting and leisure miles. I haven't done a imperial century on it yet, but now a have got me a books saddle I will be.

100 miles on a Brooks saddle, good luck!

One here, Pearson Touche single speed. But due to knee surgery I've not ridden it this year and according to Strava, only 90.7 miles in total (there might be a few non Strava'd rides) ... I've not had it *that* long! (OK start October)

Probably the majority of my miles are on singlespeed (Trek 4th District) as it's my main commuter, though I switch backwards and forwards between geared and SS bikes depending on what I feel like so I'm not sure. Also did a 200 audax on it last May. Currently on 65" which now things are warming up is feeling a little spinny so I may go back to the 68" I had before. Gear limited by what I can get up a certain steep hill on the way to work.

Tried fixed last summer for a few weeks, but mentally can't get back to it at the moment after striking a pedal and having to have my arm pinned back together, so for the moment at least the freewheel stays.

I've been riding a SS for less than a year now. I enjoy the simplicity of the bike, as a well as looks. I manage about 100 miles a month. Already looking for my next new bike.

My old bike, now playing second fiddle to a rather beautiful steel machine.

Ah did Mike buy it from you? Was it you who cut the steerer tube so short!? Or do you mean you had a touche?

The Touche, still have it, but it has clocked up nearly 60,000 miles now so deserves a rest.

I've been riding single speed since last xmas.

MTB/Hybrid 26" wheels with a 60" gear, when I first rode it the gear felt really big and hard work into a headwind but now it's very manageable.

I usually average 160 km a week - mostly flatlands cyclepath riding.

 

[oldstrath]

Just bought a 2010 day one to replace the bike a visually challenged eejit drove over. Currently singlespeed, I'll put a cog on it tomorrow.

Probably about 200 miles a week, mostly on the fixed/ss except for a few more serious off road trips

 

[Old Plodder]

In my days of club riding, I used gears, fixed & single speed bikes, whichever took my fancy.

Used to do about 7,500 miles a year, mostly Sunday rides of over 70 miles, with one exception of a ride up to Shrewsbury one Saturday, my longest ride of around 200 miles in a day. (Did commuter rides through the week, which was enough to keep up my fitness.)

After a couple of injuries, I'm still not doing much riding unfortunately, but I have my bikes for the odd occasions that I do get out for a ride. (20~40 miles seems to be it for me nowadays.)
I have a Felt S/Spd (60"), Boardman L/W hybrid, GT5 road, & Raleigh town bike.
(Old?) age & being unfit don't really help either, as this part of the country has some big steep hills that I have to walk up.

Been riding fixed exclusively for 8/9 years now,I cover around 8000 moles a year,commuting and 9 or 10 century rides a year,ride 78" in flattish areas and 72" in the hills,been riding a Tifosi frame for the past year

 

[RedRider]

Good point, well presented. Ditch the freewheel, you know you want to.

Well, it'd be rude not to try at least once wouldn't it. If I can get a bit of practice in beforehand I'll let you know how I'm 'fixed' for the ride.

 

[Drago]

I don't change be a much, so that counts as an SS

Seriously though, my SS is an MTB, ideal.for filthy conditions when you don't want to spend your day cleaning deliberations.

I think we have ridden with you a couple of times, the one that sticks out though was @fossyant's very soggy Jodrell Bank ride.

Looking at your list of bikes there is definitely one missing.
