Using Strava

And help us show the city how many cyclists there are in town!

Sign up Here!

The City of Spearfish now has access to Strava Metro which helps communities around the world plan for and improve infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians. That's right - logging your bike rides to work, school, the grocery store, and rides for fun will help city planners and engineers better understand how cyclists ride around Spearfish. The data is fully anonymized, but allows the city to look at heat maps to see where most people are riding. This type of data can help with planning for bike lanes and other beneficial infrastructure. Join us in tracking your rides!

With a heat map like this, we can see how many cyclists are using Third St to move around town.

We are hoping all sorts of cyclists will sign up for Strava! You can run it from your phone or gps enabled cycling computer. You can create a whole network of people who see your rides and cheer you on or keep it private. All of its basic functions are completely free for users. In addition to tracking your bike rides, you can use it for tracking walks, runs, skis - all sorts of activities!

Just going for a quick ice cream trip? Track it! Going for a huge training ride to get ready for the Pine Island Gravel Grinder? Track it! More data will help the City of Spearfish make decisions that will benefit all residents of Spearfish!
