Fascinating stuff. When I zoom in I can see kinds of interesting thing. One is a popular craft brewery in a Western Chicago suburb and the route that cyclists took to get there is the exact same route that I've taken many times. But I have a question: I've search all over the Strava web site and I can't find any info on the colors, which are either red or blue (after you click on cyclists only). Is the blue just a less densely traveled route and the red a more heavily traveled one?
