I ride my bike to the gym like 9 months out of the year. I always try and put more miles on the bikes than the ODO.

Exactly! People who have a better option will take that. It's not like they like sitting in traffic.

I'm trying to find a good odometer for my next bike. I don't want to track rides as workouts, but I wanna prove that I bike more than I drive. Garmin makes one that I'm looking at that goes on your wheel hub and can be intermittently synced to a phone

I've always just tagged everything as a ride. Garmin lets you make new profiles so you can have any number of activities outside the normal bunch.

Nice, I just did some research and what I did was add a new "gear" for my bike and set that to automatically be added to cycle activities. I ordered the Garmin Speed Sensor 2, it doesn't need a bike computer, just syncs to your phone. Then I just have to remember this summer when I mountain bike to manually change the gear for each activity to my other bike. Wish you could specify gear for each activity type instead of each general type
