For our final VeloViewer Wrapped story we get the inside scoop on Dutch tiler Yorick Dix’s infographic. Renowned for his explorer corridor in 2024 to the Mediterranean from his home in the Netherlands, in 2025 he travelled equally impressive distances and grew his Cluster by almost 2,800 tiles.
Take inspiration from Yorick’s year of riding with his Q&A which highlights his motivation to ride with no focus on speed but more the pure enjoyment of adventuring. Continue reading
I’ve had a bit of a run lately of old Ride activities being auto-flagged as potential E-Bike rides as Strava’s algorithms work through trying to spot and deal with potentially mis-typed activities and other data anomalies. There was a time when I was relatively fit on the bike and it looks to be some of the rides where I had a bit of an effort that have been flagged. Once flagged, these activities will no longer appear on Segment Leaderboards in Strava or count towards your Summary/Leaderboard totals in VeloViewer. Fortunately they are prominently listed for you in VeloViewer and then easy to resolve in Strava.
With over half of 2025 completed, VeloViewer infographics are starting to look pretty as they tell a story of riders adventures for the year to-date. Our end of year VV Wrapped is renowned for being shared in the new year and is a visual way to depict the year of training.
For some, the infographic data is a closely guarded secret which will not be revealed until the close of 2025, but we have spotted a few out in the wild and so have been checking in with riders on their progress.
Cycling enthusiast and YouTuber Scottish rider Stuart Dick shared his Infographic with us, and we wanted to see how his year was progressing, and what his motivations were to get out and ride. Continue reading
Our VeloViewer Wrapped Infographic stories are inspired by users who shared their data with us and their goals for the year.
UK rider Chris Chadwick gave us the lowdown on his infographic and may inspire your adventures for 2025. Continue reading
To kick off the VeloViewer infographic season we caught up with Grace Brown, Australian road racer and World Champion. After an epic season which saw her win Liege-Bastogne-Liege, and the Olympic and World Championships time trial, we were keen to review her infographic which visualises her stats for the year.

Discover how British explorer tile hunter and Vicar Graeme kept the faith to secure precious VeloViewer Explorer Tiles by using the currency of chocolate and the powers from above!
Over to Graeme…..
Our favourite emails to receive are from VeloViewer subscribers with tales of their explorer tile hunting. We’re always shocked at the lengths people go to, but also inspired by adventure seekers who find new ways to claim a tile, along with the buzz it gives them!
We were contacted recently by British Columbian Anna Bonga who shared details of her and her husband’s mountain biking adventure with the sole focus of collecting tiles. The journey involved riding, climbing and bushwhacking through prickly bushes and alongside downed trees, whilst also carrying ice axes just in case the soil gave way and they needed to pull themselves back up the slope!

If you are anything like me then looking back at photographs from past adventures brings all of those feelings rushing back. Whether it was of that ludicrous ride where you bit off far more than you could chew (I blame Simon Warren for most of those) or that image of the fantastic cafe stop when chewing was the highlight. With the integration of your Strava photos into VeloViewer you can now browse through all of your exploits on the map or thumbnail view with the added benefit of VeloViewer’s activity filtering to quickly narrow down the photos you want to see.
I’m sure most of us have had rides, runs or hikes that we’re proud to have completed and what better way to show them off than a funky 3D print of the profile. Over the last few years I’ve had numerous conversations with my riding mates about the possibility of doing 3D prints and although they all had fancy 3D printers at their disposal at their engineering jobs, it never got further than that. Fortunately PrintMyRide stepped up providing this service so now I’ve coded things up so you can easily send your activities, routes and segments straight over to PrintMyRide direct from VeloViewer wherever you see a 3D profile.
I’ve had numerous requests to build-in the ability to add images to activities from the browser rather than having to use the native phone/tablet app. It can often be a pain having to transfer photos to the phone before adding them to the activity or a complete blocker for people that don’t use an iOS or Android device at all. A while back I added the ability to add your 3D and 2D profile images direct to your activities using the button on your Activity Details page so I thought it was about time to open it up a little further.
