Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Rick Harries]

I used a Cateye Velo 7 bike computer .  It has an odometer function and a 
trip distance function that tells me what I need to know for maintenance 
and for individual rides. I rotate it forward it on the handlebar so I 
don’t fixate on the display during rides.

My Garmin watch gives me data for the last year via the Garmin Connect app on 
my phone and they have totals for the last 7 days, 4  weeks and year. All older

My riding buddy has his phone and a wireless computer on his bike. He tells

Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Joe Mullins]

It’s been great hearing about how people are keeping track of miles. From what 
I’ve gathered, some sort of journal or spreadsheet seems to be the way to keep 
track of long term data. As far as collecting data, there are many options and 
pros and cons to all. 

My current method of tracking via GPS watch allows me to see the metrics of 
individual rides but since I’m not synced to Strava or another service, I’m not 
easily seeing the grand totals and at this point in my life, that’s all I’m 
curious about. I used to use a Garmin watch which sends the data to their own 
service as well as syncing to my Apple iPhone health app. I can look back and 
see data from individual rides but can’t see the grand totals. Maybe it’s 
hidden somewhere but I haven’t found it. I now use an Apple Watch which shows 
all the same data as the Garmin but has the added benefit of asking me if I’m 
on a bike ride and if I want to track if I forgot to start the watch. This is 
annoying when I don’t care about tracking. And its annoying when I want to 
track but forgot to hit start as I’m usually a mile or two in when it senses 
that I’m on a bike ride. I’d say I track 75% of rides because it’s so easy, why 
not. I look back at maybe 3% of those rides!

If I want to see an odometer reading which sounds like fun to me, I need to be 
diligent about starting and stopping the GPS. The same would go if I were to 
use a Garmin bike GPS with navigation, etc. These devices are all great but 
they require diligent starting in stopping which in my experience has always 
been some sort of failure. (I’ve tracked many a hike only to get in my car and 
drive halfway home with the watch still tracking.) And if I want to swap one 
between bikes and know the total mileage for a particular bike, I have to 
manually log that info which is way more work than what I currently want to put 
into it. 

Using my iPhone to track with apps like Strava, Ride With GPS, or Cyclemeter 
(BTW there appears to be two versions of Cyclemeter in the Apple App Store and 
one is Russian and looks like a rip off of the original) might be the way to go 
to get tallies. As several folks mentioned they have used these apps to their 
success. I used to track with my phone and a DIY mount and it was great and not 
great. Super easy to navigate with maps and receive calls or texts. Not great 
because I was forced to receive all calls and texts! Most of the time I don’t 
want to be connected to the outside world when riding. But there are times when 
it’s inevitable and I guess that’s just the world we live in these days. 

The biggest problem I faced with the phone was that it would overheat in the 
sun rendering it completely useless until it cooled down. Yes I can start it 
and toss it in a bag but then it’s chewing through battery. Yes I could use a 
battery brick but I don’t want to go to all that trouble! I have a beacon light 
on my Hillborne and I guess I could keep it plugged in to the built in USB 
charger but again…more effort than I wish to put into all this. 

The simple bike computer is something I haven’t considered in 20 years. I 
remember how excited I was as a kid in the early 90’s to get one on my bike. I 
think I only used it to bomb the biggest hill in my neighborhood and see how 
fast I could go. It was really simple and sparkly blueish-purple to match my 
Mongoose. 

With all the fancy metrics GPS apps and devices offer, the simple bike computer 
seems to offer nothing of useful value Tim this day and age. But alas, hearing 
everyone’s methods has helped me to realize some really strong points. The 
simple bike computer (which I’ll now call the SBC since I’m typing this on my 
phone) does something I love—it starts tracking the moment my wheel starts 
spinning regardless of whether I want it to or not. I can’t think of a better 
way to keep track of total mileage over the course of a bike. The batteries 
last for years and I can set the odometer after battery changes to pick up 
where it left off. Of course it needs to go on the bike when it’s new (or new 
to me) and I can’t swap it from bike to bike. I have to run a cable and put an 
ugly sensor on my fork or I can spend more and get a wireless one that’s 90% as 
ugly but more complicated. I don’t want a wire on my fork especially since I go 
to the trouble to internally route my dynamo cables so that’s a big con. 

I can track individual rides with the tripometer or it will automatically track 
how long since I last cared about how long an individual trip was. I can’t see 
my GPS course or my elevation gain or loss but I can turn the phone or watch on 
if I want that data. For my desire to learn about how much I ride in a year or 
over the course of owning a bike, this might be the simplest and most reliable 
option given how little effort I want to put into tracking. Logging total 
mileage in a year in a little journal sounds like fun. 

At the end of the day I want to get out and ride so that I’m

Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Ben Adrian]

Hey Joe and all!

I just use a standard GPS bike computer and have it set to auto-load it 
to both Strava and RIdeWithGPS.


I do al kinda of riding on all kinds of bikes; Rivendell cruising, 
gravel rides, club road rides, commuting and utilitarian riding. My 
carbon gravel/road bike has a power meter, speed sensor, and cadence 
sensor. Plus, I will wear a heart rate monitor. I don't live and die by 
these numbers, but the Garmin keeps track and lets me know how my 
fitness is holding up. I don't need those sensors when I ride my other 
bikes, though, and the Garmin just does fine on GPS alone. Plus, I'm a 
map nerd and I love having everythign available without having to get my 
phone out.


I know the Riv ethos and GPS computers are sometimes at odds. I've heard 
of plenty of people who start the ride on their computer and just toss 
it in their handlebar bag. It's just collecting the data for later use.


My Garmin has "profiles" I can customize like road, mountain, gravel, 
rando, commuting, etc. The main screen of my commuting profile is just 
map, speed, and distance. When I want to have a worry free ride, I don't 
need to see any performance data. It's pretty nice. When I do a quick 
pre-work, morning ride for exercise, I can see heart rate and power and 
make sure I push myself the right about in the short time available.


Anyway, Joe, if you ever want to do a ride around our neighborhood, talk 
music gear, bikes, and GPS computers, let me know. I think Ron Frazell 
and Hugh Smitham? are close-ish too? L.A. Riv List meetup?

Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Richard Rose]

I recently figured out how to let Cyclemeter do that for you. No need for the 
spreadsheet.

I use Cyclemeter on my iPhone and then add date, miles ridden, and v brief
route description into Excel sheet that tracks yearly and cumulative miles
for each bike.

Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[rltilley]

I use a Garmin watch (Fenix 5+ currently) to record all of my rides. The data 
all goes up to Garmin’s cloud and I have it automatically sent to Strava as 
well. I don’t look at the data much but I can easily see it on the Garmin app 
on my phone. It includes ride data along with heart rate, calories burned, etc.

I like it because I can assign a bike to each ride as well so I know the 
mileage per bike which can be good for maintenance purposes. The watch starts 
recording by pushing a single button three times so there is very little for me 
to do to get it all recorded.

Re: [RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Richard Rose]

I am with you 100% regarding not really caring about the data. Still, I like to 
“look back” at my rides & yes, distance travelled. Speed does not matter to me 
but honestly, hours might matter more than distance. For all of these reasons I 
really like the Cyclemeter app on my I phone. The free version gets annoying 
but the $9.99 per year “premium” offers more info & no advertising. It’s the 
only thing I have used for as far back as I can remember.

[RBW] How do you track mileage?

[Joe Mullins]

How is everyone keeping track of mileage on your bikes? I’m curious what 
methods people are using. 

I’ve occasionally tracked with a GPS watch only to never look back at the data, 
let alone tally up a cumulative mileage count. I mostly ride without tracking 
as it makes it less about the stats and more about the ride. But it would be 
fun to know how much I rode in a year, over the course of owning a bike, etc. I 
wish I knew how many miles are on the first Brooks saddle that I bought 15 or 
so years ago. 

I was inspired by Pam’s post about 63,000 miles on a bike and Rapid Rise RD. 
How did you come up with that number?! How does everyone else who keeps track 
keep track?
