Strava has released their third End of Year report and it’s an interesting insight into not only just how many people actually use the app – but also into how often the average rider gets on their bike.
The report opens by saying that “from the finish lines at the world’s biggest races to the quiet trail in your neighbourhood park, if it was run or ridden in 2016, it was on Strava,” which isn’t quite accurate given that I rode my mountain bike down the staircase in my flat one day after a beer or two and didn’t stick it on Strava, but they can’t be too far off – 161 million rides were uploaded during 2016 around the world.
The Strava community generated a blistering 60,400 years worth of cumulative activity time in the past 12 months.
