Do you even bike, bro?

Not that long ago, the Torontoist.com had a great little article on where people run in Toronto. Two guys used data from a variety of a GPS based run and cycling tracking apps and made a sort of heat map for most common routes and courses. The result is a neat little map like the one you see below.

You can zoom in and out as you needed and overall it is a pretty neat idea. You can read the full article here.

Not sure if the Torontoist meant to do this or not, but you can move that map to any other town in Ontario. For example, I moved the map to my town of Milton. You can see it below.

Pretty small and not near as bright when compared to Toronto, but I like it. You can even zoom in and see if your most common route is highlighted, like I did here.

Like I said neat. So I started playing around with it and I found that the map is pretty exhaustive. You can look at the most common routes for cities like:

London:
Looks like people like biking along the Thames and maybe picking up some fish and chips

Chicago:
Lets go by the Waterfront and pick up some deep dish pizza or something.

Baghdad:

Lets go find one of the two people in Baghdad who own a fitbit.

It's actually a lot of fun to check out some different cities and see what sort of activities have been capture. Go ahead and check it out.
