[RBW] How do you track your mileage?

[Philip Williamson]

I will more diligently use Strava next year to track miles by bike. Currently I 
use Strava sometimes, and MapMyRide for bigger rides, and my commute. MapMyRide 
talks to my company’s “Vitality” program, which gives me a discount on my 
insurance premiums. 
Strava is far superior, and is not owned by UnderArmour.

I don’t know what “Ride Report” is. 
I would be interested in or appreciate a link, an elaboration, or a “haha 
gotcha!”

[Randy Franks]

When I lived in Berkeley, the PB on San Pablo employeed the nicest, fastest, 
fittest guy riding those parts. If I knew my Strava login credentials I could 
probably look up his name. Grizzly Peak, Centenial, Pinehurst, Wildcat Canyon, 
The 3 Bears, couldn’t ever get close, but it was sure fun trying!

Approx. how many photos do you need?  Seems you will have to curate them so 
I'm assuming only a few per person?

[RBW] Re: How do you track your mileage?

[dstein]

I agree with Justin. I get the Strava criticisms, but I don't think any of 
that applies to anyone here. I use strava to track miles. I suppose 
ridewithgps does the same but i've been using strava for years and don't 
want to lose that data. The only thing I can think of that validates 
Steven's point here is that by using it you enable them to exist? I do like 
to see how I do on segments, but if I can break the bottom 25% to higher up 
the top half on longer segments (usually a mile or longer) I'm happy as a 
clam. And this is from 15 years of riding. I'm not very fast, or good, I 
just like to know I'm not in the bottom 25% most of the time. And that is 
mostly tracking uphill, I could care less about speeds going down hill 
(here in the bay area it's usually 5 miles up, 5 down, etc, so there's 
generally long uphill climbs that I track against).

I always intended for Ride Report sort of be the anti-Strava, so give it a shot

[RBW] Re: How do you track your mileage?

[Steven Seelig]

You've identified some of the criticisms, many of which I share.  There are 
a myriad of cyclists out there, and would dare say that each person has 
their own reasons for riding.   Mine is to ride as much as I am able, and 
not to fret much about how I compare to those younger, fatter, fitter or 
slower.  Since I ride in the city, there is plenty of that on every ride 
where, as someone once said, every time you pass another cyclist or a 
cyclist passes you, its a race.  I confess that yes, there is lizard part 
of my brain that thinks that, and I need to dial it down.  So for me, 
Strava would be the addictive drug I'd just like to stay away from.  Hi, 
I'm Steve and I'm a dopamine addict.

So I guess I'm concerned that I would be that brakeless, fixie rider who 
ran down the older person in SF while pursuing his KOM.  Manslaughter, they 
called it.  Not that he or anyone else wouldn't have tried to go super-fast 
on their bikes without Strava.  But with it...

That's just my view and others can and should differ.

[RBW] Re: How do you track your mileage?

I'm not certain which precise point Steven was making, but I've spoken with 
more than one cyclist who blames Strava for sensationalizing the KOM.  
There are multiple stories out there of cyclists that kill themselves on a 
downhill because they were going for a KOM.  I know some people think 
Strava is partly to blame for these tragic occurrences.  There are 
"dopamine addict" aspects to the 'kudos' and badge hunting aspects of 
Strava that some people resent.  I definitely use Strava to show off to the 
race team that I coach.  We all follow each other, and all give kudos to 
one another.  When I do a 300k brevet, all "my kids" see it and they all 
respond with "Damn, Bill. You're crazy".  Thanks to Strava, I can predict 
that "my racer" who is poised to surprise the league with a breakout season 
is Aiden.  Some people find that entire notion of speed and competition as 
unhealthy or at least contradictory to the fun of "just ride", and avoid 
Strava more as a personal protest.

Re: [RBW] Re: How do you track your mileage?

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I get a kick out of Strava. My Wahoo Elemnt automatically uploads my rides to 
Strava and Ride with GPS, and Strava occasionally emails to let me know that I 
set a personal record on such-and-such segment of roadway. I’m usually 
something like the 873rd fastest rider on the segment.

[Steven Seelig]

+1 on the Wahoo Element although I personally stay away from Strava and use 
Ride with GPS.  If you use Strava, you are buying into the whole 
competition thing, like it or not, which is not my bag.  Ride with GPS does 
the same, I think, and permits your to check out other rides in your area 
or, even better, when you travel to a new town.  So rather than wonder 
where to ride when in unfamiliar territory, you get to plan rides based on 
turn by turn directions uploaded by someone else.  Really fun if you are a 
planner, like me. Not the most intuitive program to use, but after awhile 
you will get the hang of it.

On the cost side, it is a bit steep but I justified the purchase at REI by 
getting back the dividend and knowing that I no longer have to worry, 
worry, worry about burning the cell phone battery using a computer paired 
to the phone.  No more psychic anxiety on that front. The Wahoo can operate 
on its own, and pretty much lasts an entire day or two of riding.  

If you don't have one, and would never spend the $ on something as 
self-indulgent at this, I would say that with the holiday approaching this 
is the perfect gift.  Maybe not for Deacon Partick, though.  More wool for 
him. (-:

[RBW] Re: How do you track your mileage?

[Bill Lindsay]

I use Strava on the phone for 'non-serious' rides.  I use a Wahoo Elemnt 
for 'serious' stuff, which syncs to Strava.  Wahoo also seamlessly 
integrates over to Ride With GPS.  

So, for commute miles, I touch one button on my phone and it records my 
mileage.  For a route where I need directions, I'll map it out on RWGPS and 
sync it to my Wahoo.  For a ride like I did with Grant on Saturday, I 
record it on Strava, and upload that data to Ride With GPS so I can do it 
again without Grant because I've already got the breadcrumbs.

Re: [RBW] How do you track your mileage?

I've been using Map my Ride for about 2 1/2 years, I also uploaded Ride with 
GPS, but I really haven't used it yet. At this point several people I know use 
MMR, so it's hard for me to change.

Is there anyone in Edmonton,AB who may be able to assist with our transaction &

No familiarity with bike shops in that area; although Judy and her Atlantis
