Strava is a GPS tracking system that's become quite popular amongst runners and cyclists. The app allows users to track their rides or runs and save them for record-keeping. Not content with merely providing a great service to end users, however, the company also anonymizes its data and compiles it in order to create a global "heat map" of its users' biking and running paths. These paths can tell a surprising story, especially for Spokane.
