SHASTA BIKE MONTH & CHALLENGE

Be a Citizen Scientist! Download the Love to Ride app & contribute to better cycling in Shasta County

You may be an avid Strava user, that’s great! Connecting your Strava account to your Love to Ride profile is one way to log rides during Cycle September. You can also download the Love to Ride app in your App store and use this alongside another app to help contribute to better bicycling in Shasta County.

By downloading the Love to Ride app, enjoying bike rides, and rating your route on how comfortable it was for you after each ride, you’ll contribute anonymous data that can make our community better for bicycling! This anonymous data is shared with transportation agencies to show where people are riding and where they feel comfortable and uncomfortable.  See how this is possible by watching this 2.5-minute video from Love to Ride.

Even if you have both apps running during the challenge, they are designed not to double log rides. You can connect to both and be a citizen scientist! Auto-logging helps to catch those shorter bike trips that you might not remember to start/stop, but they still help paint a picture of how our residents are getting around by bike!
