**THREAD RESURRECTION ALERT!**
I stumbled across this thread looking for something else, so thought I'd see how the heatmap looks now


Britain still loves it - glowing white hot, and it looks like France has go over it's fear of all things American. Australia seems to pretty well map on to the population. Russia is very dark. USA fly-over-country is not so much cycle over.

France has roughly the same population and double the land area as Britain.

Have a close look at south-facing hill sides and you'll see lots of weird swoopy Stravas. Took me a minute to work out that they are hang gliders!

For the cognoscenti of Lancashire, look at Parlick Pike just north of Chipping.

See that dark blob in the middle, near Manchester? That's where I live. I'm doing my best to fill it in with Strava but not many roads

Someone from Strava told me that Box Hill is the most popular strava segment globally (“by some metrics” was how he put it)

When you zoom in, the URL changes ... so can you zoom in on one of the swoopy stravas and then share the link?

You can see the Cambridge - St Ives busway glowing white hot. Build it and they will come.

That's part of the problem, the map is highlighting the places people live on the planet. If you could normalise it for that, it would be easier to interpret things. But, by taking it into account, it does seem underrepresented in swathes of the planet.

There's a road that is lit up like a star near my house that just goes dark as it enters my privacy zone, I'm claiming responsibility for that one

No. Everyone is just avoiding you.

I have just heard that Olympian cyclist fellow on the radio saying he was planning cycling across Antarctica next year, maybe Strava see into the future.

There's more than one segment and they don't go very far.
