Miles or kilometres?

[tompb19]

I prefer metric measurements, mainly because altitudes are shown in meters on maps - so thinking about how many feet I have climbed doesn't make any sense. So, using km is then easier to work out gradients and such.

Miles better.

May I remind the OP of rule #24

 

[ScotiaLass]

I'm old school so it's miles for me

 

[classic33]

My commute to and from work is currently 5.5 and 6.5 leagues, respectively .

36.11400 kilometres!

Me its miles.

I'm confused. I weigh 78kg, I'm 5'11" high, the beverage my dog is eyeing up (see left) is in a pint glass, yet at work I measure things in microns. My car does miles per hour but consumes fuel in litres. My bike does kilometres per hour. Said car provides 110ps, which is German for horsepower whilst delivering its torque in newton metres, an S.I. unit.

Yup, that's about it. Though my car does MPG and I've no idea how many gallons I put into it.

Which you pay for by the litre!

Miles for me,alongside yards feet and inches,though i accept that kilometers are the universal way of measuring cycling distances.

 

[classic33]

How many furlongs is that exactly ?

Well there's 8 Furlongs per mile.

 

[Gravity Aided]

My ride the other day was 2 and 1/3 leagues.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Well there's 8 Furlongs per mile.

320 rods, or 80 chains.

Why do runners in this country use kilometres then?

They also use miles
