What age are people doing the higher miles.

[Dave7]

Think you will find that's @Drago

No.....thats the age of his Y fronts but he got them 2nd hand from Oxfam.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

But most on here are cycling enthusiasts, So i don't think we are average on here.

@potsy significantly drags down the forum average

@potsy significantly drags down the forum average

Yes but I cancel that out.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

In a year?

Yes, per here https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/walking-and-cycling-statistics

Or a day?

I bet there aren't many on here that average 60 miles a day (if any)

Up to 10th October, I had done 2800 miles, so I probably wouldn't have made the cut off point of 3000.

That's why companies can get away with selling BSOs that are knackered after 250 miles - "This was a bargain, £149 and it lasted four years".

 

[Corky Cyclist]

5,000 miles in 2018 and hoping for similar in 2019. I'm a tad over 60 in age.

 

[Milkfloat]

What would be the point of that?

You question will naturally get skewed results. By asking people how old they are if they ride more than 3000 miles a year will not necessarily tell you the age of the general population who ride more than 3000 miles a year. For example - they forum is mainly frequented by people over 40 years old, so your results are going to show higher numbers of people in these categories despite the fact that in the real world there are plenty of people under 25 who a riding a lot.

Oh dear. You don't seem to understand statistics manipulated for popular consumption. There are no headlines in the way you propose.

Its finding out who does what on this forum. It is not a world wide poll.

Next year.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I thought I was the mileage over the 10 year periods indicated.

It would not be high milage over a 10 year period, or maybe it would for some on here.

It would be an average of 300 miles a year. What percentile that covers, who knows?

Age is a bit irrelevant. Back in '67 as a teenager, my ctc diary recorded over 7k. Then about 10 years ago, in my 50's and a spell of regular commuting, topped 6k and several years over 3k, but since retirement around 2k, but who knows what I will do this year.
