I like this. There were a couple of years I joined the “mass commutes bike week challenge”. It involved joining a team ( my team was my university) and logging distance ridden on every day. It had your distance and a leader board. Not super complex but it worked. It did encourage me to ride more.

Oddly a lot of the record of these isn’t on the internet anymore.

They seem to have switched to a new platform which I haven’t tried.

I like the simplicity of VADO and will try it out.

My workplace had this last spring. Turns out if you let (Dutch) cycling enthusiasts work out during the workday they will go for 200km rides. Weekly. That's 6 hours of cycling. I was amazed that people took that liberty but the big boss took it in good cheers. No further experimentation with working out on the job though.
hey acomjean, thanks for your message, yeah we tried to keep it super simple and somehow ignorant but not in a bad way :) it's still in the very early days so every feedback is super appreciated!
