A какими Strava-заменителями вы пользуетесь? Для велика я нашел Bikemap, как для начала, то и неплохо, но может есть что-то еще?

(Если вы есть в Bikemap, айда добавляться в друзья там)

i think github's stats engine is having a day

#bikemap

traffic chart showing traffic to the bike maps repo including 8 visitors today with 16 pages visited, but at the same time, the "popular content" listing shows only two pages being visited at all in the last two weeks, and only once each. it also shows no referring sites.

This thing - this sign and the route it indicates - is NOT on Seattle's Bike Map.

And it's old.

Is this a leftover from a dead route, never removed? What is or maybe more accurately was it?

Biked out to the very end of Spanish Banks, with @rachaelashe on the back of the ebike. A beautiful sunny Sunday. The Bikemap app tells me that’s 13km each way. https://www.bikemap.net/en/apps/

sticker?

(would be trimmed to zero margin)

lower case B or capital in Bike?

I’m kinda playing with a vague mid century font treatment but it’s _pretty vague_

I don’t think I’m very good at stickers

Okay, it's starting to make some sense to me now

Gonna need a lot of street labels but that's okay

#biking #bicycling #bikemap #edmonds #lynnwood #shonomishcounty #seattle

Bike map extension into Edmonds and Lynnwood. It's kinda sparse but a lot less so, and you can start to see how things connect together insofar as they do.

Three semi-connected roads all near each other all called Airport Way and one extension of Airport Way which is _not_ called Airport Way, but is called Seattle Boulevard.

Because of another temporary closure I'm not going to drop a map with this until July 4thish, because otherwise I'd have to add a warning flag and then take it right back again :/

Bikemap has added some neat features recently. Here’s from my normal route to work, most of which is on a mixed use path and then some neighborhood roads. They also have a heatmap touting option similar to Strava.

Screenshot of Bikemap show route statistics by road type for a route in distance and percentage.

A view of the map editor workspace with the "Official infrastructure" layer opened to show a LOT of object folders, one per trail system and one for each town and county with local infrastructure data, all locked down, each one of which contains the elements and grouped sub-elements of each line from the map.

Time to cross to the Duwamish

#bikemap #maps #design

the megamap with all Seattle updates included but the Seattle backdrop map _not_ included, which makes Seattle appear as a floating set of street names with only occasional bike infrastructure, since most of the infrastructure lives on the base map.
