Rides 2004-2009 (with labels)

A time-lapse animation of my recumbent cycling in Toronto, spanning 2004 to 2009. In all, about 650 hours of cycling totalling almost 8100km.

This is the total record of all my recumbent riding. Individual years are also available as separate videos, and there are more details in the comments on those.

The red path represents five minutes of cycling. Rides outside the borders of the map are represented by a red arrow; the longer the arrow, the further the bike is from the border.

Thanks for the comments!

The software is a Java program I wrote myself, originally just to collect stats on my rides. I expanded it recently to draw maps, and later animations, based on those rides, resulting in this video.

Unfortunately, the software, as it stands now, is strongly geared towards my own way of organizing my files, with hard-coded configurations for my GPSes & bikes. I'm hoping to generalize it some, and if I ever get that done, I may release it.

I would also be interested in hearing what software you used to make this.

again, this data is helpful for my research on biking in toronto. im attempting to expand the biking craze in cities like toronto by re-designing the city to take bikers more into consideration in the planning of the city transportation networks
