Strava Replaces Mileage Log
To use Strava you will need either the App on your Smartphone or a GPS based bike computer. There are two options; a free account or a feature laden monthly subscription plan - Strava Summit. A few of the many advantages of using Strava are: track all of your ride parameters, including heart rate and cadence, it keeps a map of your ride, you can follow friends, and rides can be automatically uploaded. Some inputs require extra sensors. But perhaps the greatest advantage is that Strava compiles ride statistics that allow transportation planners to use the data to plan bicycle infrastructure.
Our thanks to Lee Pirtle for his past help in developing and maintaining the mileage log.
