RE: Using Strava Heatmaps to find cycling routes

in #cycling7 years ago (edited)

A few years ago, I developed a cycling smartphone App to incentivize urban riding. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the project going for too long, but during those years we captured lots of rides and were able to create these animations through a collaboration with a data visualization expert. The video compresses in one minute a one month of rides participating in a city challenge to see which city area riders were cycling the most.

Pretty cool indeed! Nice work. Strava uses the GPS data from it's users and sells the information to cities that are interested in planning things like bike lanes and modifications to streets so it is safer. Your vid pretty much captures that.
