Hi guys I was wondering if their were any cyclists in this crew. Ever heard of Strava or what is it? (Copy and pasted from the strava website) 
Strava is the social network for athletes. We’re a global community of millions of runners, cyclists and triathletes, united by the camaraderie of sport. Our website and mobile apps bring athletes together from all walks of life and inspire them to unlock their potential – both as individuals and as communities. From Olympians to weekend warriors, we’re out there on the road and trail, all over the world, day after day.

I don't cycle much but I use strava a lot for running. Can't recommend it enough. It has very good tracking, as well as great analysis of split times per distance.
If you spend some time inputting weight, height and other details it can calculate energy used and calories burned.
I used it sporadically at first, but since I've started training for a marathon it's been great. If you're casual or serious it's a great app.

Well I'm Dutch which means I'm raised on a bike, so I when I went to Secondary School (4th year now) I've been cycling everyday for about 16 kilometres. I also have a MTB, and I use it to go MTB'ing with my father. It's a Focus Fatboy (not my pic, mine has smaller side walls on the tyres). |

I don't bike, but I rollerblade  . When I have time I go for trips of 30 KM and 50 KM max. With the wind in my back I go a bit more then 25 km/h. |

Hi. I just started cycling and have been using strava for running too. It's excellent. A great way to keep track of my distances/times and motivate me to push myself. I have my third half marathon coming up and triathlons to start soon.

Never used strava myself when I did cycling seriously, I used to do cycling for 4 years I think at the Newport Velodrome in south wales and did some of the road aspect racing aswell. Been thinking about getting out on my bike again a bit lately though. Would consider strava possibly.
I have a Raleigh Hardtail MTB and my old Road bike which is also a Raleigh.
I used to have a 6 month rental bike for the track which I owned for 3 years which was an Islabikes track bike (cant remember the original model name)

dmiller187 do you watch Global Cycling Network on YoutTube at all? yes I do, great channel for cycling tips etc. I'll take a look at that, and the app. I've been meaning to get more into biking, I have a old road bike in my basement and a MTB I use to cross campuses at uni |
