Question of the Day - Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

Today's question is from @Sally PB:

What's the farthest you've ever ridden a bicycle in one day?

As kids, we rode our bikes all day, and as a teen, I rode my bike to the stables every day, which, depending on where we lived, was 5-7 miles away.

 

[Mill Chick]

I have no idea!

 

[BoundlessLove]

Not sure, but I’d say it was on Mackinac Island.

 

[Chicken_Obsesser]

Probably around 15 miles.

 

[muddy75]

Probably 10 miles.

 

[sourland]

10 to 15 miles as a kid

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

Sixteen miles and almost half of it was going uphill, with half of that being steep uphill. Unfortunately, here in Maine all we have is hills. It is nice cruising down on the other side.

 

[The Moonshiner]

No idea on this one either. All over the county when I was young. Far enough from home my mother would of killed me if she knew.

I spent my entire childhood on a 20" BMX bike. 50 or more miles a day was nothing. I never did the math on a total. but point-to-point I think the farthest would have been 20 miles round trip.

To the post office, about a mile away.
I haven't owned a bike since I was 15.
