In this blog I will collect all cycling related websites and posts that I use.
If you have any additions to this list, let me know in the comments and I will add them.
Strava
https://www.strava.com/
Strava is a social networking platform and fitness app for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to track their workouts, connect with other athletes, and analyze their training data. It allows users to record different types of activities such as cycling, running, walking skiing, swimming
and so on. The app is using GPS-signals to display your route. You can record routes with your smartphone or dedicated navigation device. Most devices offer the option to upload your activity directly to Strava.
Strava2Hive
Strava2Hive is a service that will allow Strava athletes to make automated posts of their activities onto Hive and be rewarded for their activities.
All you have to do is authorize Strava2Hive to access the data in your Strava account.
More information on how to do this can be found here:
@strava2hive/strava2hive-frequently-asked-questions
When you start the description of your Strava ride with @cycling your post will be automatically placed in the Cycling Community.
Komoot
https://www.komoot.com/
Komoot is a route planning and navigation app for outdoor enthusiasts that offers customized recommendations for hiking, cycling, and mountain biking adventures. Users can plan their routes by choosing from a variety of options based on terrain, distance, and difficulty, and then follow the app's turn-by-turn directions while on the trail. Komoot also provides offline maps and information on points of interest, such as scenic viewpoints and local attractions, to enhance the user's experience.
I don't use Komoot for navigation, but since I have a Garmin navigation device, but it is possible to use the navigation on your smartphone.
I do use it for planning most of my routes since it gives me so much information about the route, the type of roads and some sightseeing tips.
I've created a blog about Komoot a couple of months ago:

Windfinder
https://www.windfinder.com
Windfinder.com is another website I often use. I use this one in conjuction with Komoot.
I almost always plan the first part of my routes against the wind. This prevents me from going to fast with a tailwind and encountering the proverbial "man with the hammer".
Climbfinder
https://www.climbfinder.com
Climbfinder is a website that provides information on cycling routes and climbs in various locations around the world. It offers a database of climbs that includes details such as distance, elevation, gradient, and difficulty rating, as well as maps and photos to help cyclists plan and prepare for their rides. Users can search for climbs based on location or specific criteria.
We don't have any serious climbs in the Netherlands, but when I go on holiday abroad my bike goes with me and the climbfinder website is really useful then.
Relive
https://www.relive.com
Relive is a website where you can track and share your activities. They plot your ride on a virtual map and you can add some photo and video highlights on the route as well.
The Cycling Community is for everyone who rides a bicycle or is interested in cycling in any form.
