After a stupid delay because I waited too long to finish this, the new sheet is up.
Fill out the form HERE and your tab and information will be added to the spreadsheet:

There are a few new options that you may enjoy. You can now choose to separate out your recreational rides and the rides in which you replace a car. You can also track miles driven, and you can track bike expenses.
In the form, there is a question about charts. The charts aren't fully implemented yet, but if you want them, or you want your historical data imported into your sheet, you need to click on "yes". Last but not least, if you select remember me, your tab will automatically be added each month with the options you select today.
I'm sorry the "Money Saved by not driving" thing isn't working yet, I just haven't figured out a good way to do it. I want to provide people the option of providing details about their car (mpg, maintenance/mile etc) or just use the average, and I wound up going down a rabbit hole. Hopefully next month.
On to the fun stuff. We had 49 people participate this month, and we averaged 168.7 Miles per participant. Over $1200 saved in gas (fun fact: with $1200, I could have bought my current car 3 times over), and 165,000 lbs of C02 that did not get put in the atmosphere. We didn't beat our record for most miles in a month, but this is the closest we've been since the record was set. We made 8266.51 miles this month.
Let's put it this way...if we took the entire distance we rode in just this month, pointed directly down, and went that far through the earth, we'd pretty much always come out the other side (unless you happen to be opposite a giant mountain). That's right folks!!
We rode through the center of the earth (for those of you wondering, the
equatorial diameter of the earth is ~ 7900 miles). As if that's not cool enough, assuming we had the right technology, that is more miles that it would take to go
all the way around the moon. Man, we are friggin' awesome. As far as our per user average of 168.7 miles, that is enough distance
to get out of earth's atmosphere 3 times over. That's also longer than the
Annapurna Circuit, a popular trek through central Nepal.
