ADD A RIDE
Turn a track into a route
Drop in a GPX file — or paste a Strava, Garmin, RideWithGPS, or Komoot link and we'll send you to its export. The track is read in your browser with the same parser the site builds with, so what you preview here is exactly what gets published.

Measured from the GPX file: distance, climbing, and the simplified line the site will draw.

Add it to the repository
Bikopedia is a static site with no server, so the last step is a commit. Download both files, drop them in, and open a pull request — the site rebuilds on merge.
Then, from the repository root:
How publishing works
- The GPX file is parsed in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Distance, climbing, the elevation profile, and the map line are measured from the track.
- You supply the words: title, area, summary, tags, and local notes.
- Two files are produced:
src/content/routes/<id>.jsonandpublic/gpx/<id>.gpx. - A maintainer reviews the pull request; merging rebuilds and publishes the site.
Strava and Garmin activities cannot be fetched by a static site — those exports need your own signed-in session. Pasting a link recognises the activity, sends you to the official export, and records the URL as the route's source.
