I also consider that My Cyling Log is as good as any and it also has the added attraction that many other CC members are there already.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be aware of the smart phone apps as the GPS function can eat batteries. If you want to say commute, then have a charger (even a USB lead) to top up at work before the ride home.
Apart from that, there are some excellent answers here
Totally off topic....
Been there!
I found that after an initial success I quickly reached a plateau and was not getting results
I found that what helped me most was a heart rate monitor. These can be quite cheap (£15)
The way I used mine was to slightly up the heart rate to make sure I was doing more work, and this made the difference for me.
(Normal cautionary advice applies on middle aged gentlemen taking up exercise though)

OpenOffice. Sweet
Actually it is Libreoffice, which is a branch off from open office and comes bundled with the latest distribution of ubuntu.

Column B is distances (since the start if the year). Column C is distances on my new bike. Yes, the whole of column E is fuel cost (had I done the distance in my car). Rows 6 and 8 are year sub-totals (for all columns). Row 4 is Total since September 2010.
Also, Fuel rate is MPG, Fuel cost rate is £/litre, and CO2 rate is kg/gallon.
Sorry it's not perfect; I only built it for myself. I've not been well, you know. I'll try to do better in future.
I wouldn't go offering it out to people in that state 
I've done far too much work with spreadsheets where they need to be understandable by anyone in a short time frame, so they gotta be right!

Ah, but it is right - all the calculations are correct, and the layout is actually quite logical. It may not be polished, but it is offered free on a take it or leave it basis - if the recipient doesn't want it, then that's fine.

OK, damn you!
I spent a little time. Here is a more polished version, which goes up to the end of 2015, and is protected.
In the unlikely event that anyone wants it, then please let me know.

Since I bought a camera with GPS, I have started to use SportTracks 3.0, free to use, although it keeps asking you to upgrade.
Produces a nice map of the ride plus keeps a log of what I have done, although I need to use my bike computers ride time to correct the time, do not want to use the time the camera was recording for.
