I would like to find a cycling version of CityStrides, so I can have my running on one Lifemap and my cycling on another
I would probably prefer to have a separate site for cycling, to kep them apart. Would like to keep CityStrides running, unless we could have two very clear partitionsā¦but then itās not strides any moreā¦
Just signed up to wandrer.earth. Although it does say that you only get 50 most recent rides without paying, it looks like itās loaded all of themā¦ they are all listed in the āridesā page anyway.
It doesnāt seem to show everything on the mapā¦ but as far as I can tell the map only shows where it has matched the ride to a section of road, which keeps it neat in places you ride a lot - only one line instead of loads on top of each other, though no sense of āpopularityā that you get from thick lines near where you live on CS. Also means that it tags the start of loads of little side-streets that youāve gone past, whihc looks a bit rubbish. Eg, this is part of my regular commute to work:
I do like that the map keeps it clean without overlaying every ride that you have done. If you like seeing a more traditional heatmap that gets darker on your popular routes, Stravaās is pretty nice but is a premium feature and has no leaderboards, percent complete, etc. I donāt do much city riding so I have never noticed the little side streets with false starts.
yeah itās pretty neat all-in-all. It is only showing my 50 most recent on the main map though, even thought the rest appear in my list of activities (and you can click through to individual maps for them), which seems weirdā¦ presumably itās not about API access then?
Thought just occurred to me, from a recent idea: Should this ever happen, I hope stats are kept separate for how the nodes were gathered.
One issue that hasnāt been addressed is the question of names. City Strides uses names to track the different streets, and itās the name on OSM that matter. CS is not going to replace OSM for a variety of reasons. Changing this relationship would be a fundamental change in the data structure underlying this site, and could very well break it.
One result of using names is that some cities have discontinuous streets, with a piece here and another one way over there. (Many of these data from when two separate cities merged.) This has caused some people to comment unfavorably.
Another result is when a single street shows up as two separate streets in City Strides due to inconsistencies in street names. āMain Streetā and āMain Stā are not the same street. Neither is āMain stā.
Finally, there are streets with no name in OSM. (I plan on running one such street in the next few weeks to see what the real name is. Then Iāll edit OSM to match the reality on the ground.) Streets with no names have no existence in City Strides. And this is a problem for many walkways, etc. If they arenāt named in OSM, they cannot exist in City Strides.
So just adding walkways and trails may not be as simple as changing the import parameters.
Good points @fredrik.coulter. I had a similar problem, in my previous life as a software developer. My solution, as it applies here, would be tag each imported way with something like ā.hikeā and ā.bikeā, knowing there will be a āMain Streetā (initial/existing db entry), and something like āMain Street.hikeā and āMain Street.bikeā, all pointing (literally, with a pointer) back to the original data, and hopefully just one set of unique coordinates, which may or may not apply to all three node gathering methods.
Obviously this is not a fully developed thought, only a faint memory of something I once coded.
PS. Hope you find a name for the street with no name.
Hi. Iām only getting my walk/ run activities synching from strava. I presume thatās intentional but my town is a bit big to get to only by running/ walking so would it be possible to add in cycle activity too?
Thanks
This site is for running, I guess there are similar sites for biking?
I know what you meant, but I was still thinking, āWell, it would be pretty difficult for two people on a tandem to ride different routes!ā 
@tev4 
I canāt believe I wrote that! Itās been a long week, and Iām in the middle of moving.
Thank you for this - injury has stopped my CityStriding (and I was as high as 120 on the leaderboard!) so Iāve had to get back on my bike - not the same but better than nothingā¦
Would be cool if cyclists could use this too, and not just runners. I do both.
There is also the site wandrer.earth where you can track both foot and cycle, a bit different since it also includes paths, trails, cycleways.
Curious how many would also like a City Rides? Would love to see the places Iāve biked over the years.
Iād be interested. Best thing would probably a toggle switch for activity types so that people can only see what they want to see. But the leaderboards should maybe stay for running/walking/hiking only - I can definitely see people being upset if they have to compete against cyclists.
https://wandrer.earth/ does exactly this
Alternatively you can do it manually with Strava Multiple Ride Mapper
There is also another way to gamify you activities with https://squadrats.com/
You can buy a print of your rides here https://mapridesshop.com/
As a runner who just injured himself and was told not to run, Iād absolutely love this, and would be more than willing to help in any way
