Depends if I'm in the UK for summer (usually I fly off to see my folks).

12-4k a year with summers here
9-11k if I fly off for the summer

All I know is that my bike goes through 2 sets of tyres, 1 set of chains and 2 oil changes/services a year with intervals between 4-6 k miles (whenever I can afford the time to put it off the road for maintenance).

I can see myself doing 15-20k miles this coming year.

Probably 7-10k due to my commute to college only being 5 miles and work only 3 miles.

I've done about 1.5k. Unemployed for a year now, so no commuting mileage.

2k so far... but it's my first year back on a bike and I work from home, so no commuting.

Yes I admit I'm a born again biker Rolling Eyes ... but only because an accident forced me to quit for 4 years, then my son was born - couldn't fit the baby seat to the bike! Laughing

Only use the bike to commute now, quite sad really.

64 miles a day, 15 shifts a month give or take annual leave in there somewhere so maybe 10,500 miles a year.

About 10, my commute is 8 mile round trip. I do about 6K on the Er6 and 4K on the Z.

The Z is only used from April-September.

I have only used a bike for sprinting and hillclimbing this year, I have spent about 3K on her and done about 50 miles this season.

im going to guess 10-15k but it could be anything.

25 mile per day commute + up to 200 mile blast on the w/e if its nice. only did that once this month and i've put about 1500 miles down. surprised me when i thought about it. not so much now but in the summer i was doing lots more than that Shocked

surprising as in the last 2 yrs (been riding for 8months) i've only put about 8k on my car!

man i love biking Very Happy

Around 30000-35000 miles a year, use a bike for work so can end up doing over 600 miles a week.
