Also there is massive marketing use from this as all trail centres now get to see who has the greatest percentage of users for example, or what the most rode sections of road are for funding etc.
Yes I know its not true figures as not everyone uses strava, however it does give a very good guide indeed!
So what's the most people you have seen on a segment then?
Box Hill got to be one of the most ridden road segments.
Probably any section on follow the dog, Cannock.
I cant believe the amount of traffic bkb gets.
So much better trails within a couple of miles.
Majorca is obviously very popular. My best is to get on the 2nd page
on this one.

The heat map is interesting in some ways but not very informative in others if you get me! Interesting some of the stats that are coming out. Would be interesting to compare trail centres, maybe second or third segment in to see how visitors compare.
Christ, Cannock is a bit sleepy – most of Ashton Court's segments in Bristol are on 12k or more!

I was going to say Richmond Park!
i thought box hill was going to be a nasty climb but tis just a little tump.
Box Hill's no biggie but bear in mind the men's Olympics race did it 9 times.
