User data from over 170 million bike rides and runs from 2015 is overlayed on a tiled map using data from Mapbox and Open Streetmaps. Toggling between bike rides, runs, and both, reveals the ways in which Strava users traverse roads, paths, and in between. While the data is compiled by computer engineers, it is created by the millions of users who attached GPS devices to their bodies or bikes in an attempt to measure their speed, distance, heart-rate, energy output, etc.
