Miles actual: 11150.04

 

I’m confused. Why does the odometer say 10,000 but you say it’s 11,000?

And, is this since you started riding after wrecking your car, or is this your mileage so far this year? (just kidding!)

The odometer actually says 1000.0.

That’s 1000.0 miles past when I flipped it over to 0.0 (It goes up to 9999.9).

Mileage this year started at 9207.0, which would make this 1793.0.

It’s 11000 [11150, counting the cyclometer discrepancy and pre-metered miles] since I started riding.
