Fine with me. The bike is moving over a distance, soooooooo....

I'd agree. It's a perfectly normal place to ride a bike, just as a mountain track or a road is.

i was only joking, i doubt it will add up to a mile.

I think if similar miles would have been logged on a GPS it's fine... At the end of the day if you're pushing out 200w while actually going somewhere you're fighting real-world resistances even if it is idealised in the case of a velodrome.

Maybe I ought to add my work miles. I guess I might have done two miles yesterday additional to my commute, but the trikes don't have computers on, so I'll have to work it out on mapmyride or something. Can I get extra points for a) three wheels, a hundred or so kilos of cargo, and c) a bloody horrible headwind for half the time....

At the end of the year those 1 miles add up - I mean 365 x 1 mile would exceed one of my monthly aims - so log them (I do - my school run to pick up the youngest is 1 mile there and back and I log that - though usually combined with what ever the rest of the day is).

Ok, I'll work my trike miles out for the week. My boss is going to wonder why if I suddenly opt for the trike round everyday, instead of sometimes driving the electric vehicle. Mind you, he knows me well enough to understand....

I did work out that on our hardest day, the trike can do up to four miles, depending on how the vehicle battery holds out. It's not much, until you take into account the laden weight....

Yesterday at one point, the wind was so awful that we debated fitting tribars, but that makes steering a bit tricky, since you need the leverage on an upright trike, or the front wheel just shimmies....

Managed an impromptu 11 miles today, going to the supermarket - not bad, as the supermarket is about 500 yards from my flat. So instead of left, straight on, right, left, right: I went right, right, left, straight on, left, left, right, straight on, right, left, right, left, right, left, left, straight on, left, (detour into Designer Outlet to look for cheap Craghoppers, buy nothing) left, left, right, right, left, left, straight on, right. I trust this makes things clear?

And on my winter hack, and in jeans etc...

So that adds to my weekly 18 miles of commuting...

In relative terms this manages to beat me 10 miles commute turns into a 36 mile commute by a fair margin

I have registered but have not received confirmation e-mail. I have checked spam folder just in case but it's not there either...


Edit:
Just seen a message on the website that aol e-mail addresses don't work - so you'll have to do without my miles.
