I ride 2 or 3 time a week, mostly each ride is over 60 miles in the summer, I've just checked and that's over 3500 miles already this year. All done on my vintage 1980's steel bikes.

Good mileage, well done. I've done about the same so far this year.

Is that because that's all you have, or do you have an elegant way of tracking? I ride every day, not often that far, but I don't track which rides are on the 1980s, 1990s or post-2000 bikes because it's too annoying to set every bike up as different activity on the trackers I use.All done on my vintage 1980's steel bikes.

The water bottle is giving me flashbacks though. I brought one a while back and it broke on the first use. Waste of moneyView attachment 360293

The bulk of the little mileage I've done has been on Colin, my '83 Claud.

You are!
Even my humble 1991 FZR600 is 26 years old now, and to my knowledge the only one remaining with that spec. Stuff gets old so quickly and as a society were so used to chucking it away the moment a phone is a year old, or a car is three years old, that its a real novelty to see something out of time.

I track the mileage easily but not which miles were on which bike and only one's vintage and two classic. Does your Garmin track it based on which mount it's on, then?

I only own 1980's bikes, I'm a bit nostalgic about 1980's bikes, because that's the era when I was at my cycling best. I'm sure, new, top quality carbon bikes will be more advanced, but I can't reach their handle bars when I'm riding them.
I was given the water bottle, yes, it's not a very good design and leaks slightly, but it has a very large capacity for summer rides.The water bottle is giving me flashbacks though. I brought one a while back and it broke on the first use. Waste of money

Who'd have one of those carbon things, especially after seeing that guy on YouTube who cuts them up to reveal the horrors therein.

What sort of horrors? Like vampires or werewolves, or figurative horrors?

Safety related, the only vampires might be the manufacturers trying to get their hands on your hard earned.
