About Activity Atlas

A place to group your Strava rides into collections and share the whole set as one link.

What it is

Strava is great at recording a ride and terrible at helping you find it again six months later. Activity Atlas doesn’t replace Strava — every ride you add is still a live, real Strava embed, still linking back to the real activity. It just gives you a second layer on top: a way to group rides together and hand someone one link instead of ten.

Why it exists

Multi-day trips. The best trails in a region you keep coming back to. A season’s worth of favorite climbs. Right after the trip, you remember exactly which rides mattered. A year later, even you can’t find them in your own Strava feed — and there’s no good way to send someone else “here are the five rides from that week in the Dolomites” without pasting five separate links into a text thread.

Activity Atlas is built to solve that specific problem: turning a scattered set of rides into one page you can point people at.

How it works

1
Create

Make a collection — a named group like "Alps Trip 2026". You choose its web address and who can see it while you name it, and both are shown before you commit to either.

2
Paste

Paste an activity's URL, a share link from the Strava app, or the “Embed on Blog” code from the website. Add up to 50 activities at once. The activity has to be public, on a public Strava profile.

3
Order and tag

Put the rides in whatever order tells the story best, and give the collection up to 25 tags so you can filter your profile down to it later.

4
Share

Every collection lives at its own URL. Send that one link and the rides render as real, working Strava embeds.

Choosing the web address

The address your collection will live at is shown while you name it — something like /your-name/alps-trip-2026. Leave it alone and it follows the name; click the last part to type your own. If the one you typed is already taken you’re told so and can pick another, rather than being quietly handed a different address.

Pick it now if you care about it: once the collection exists, its address is fixed.

You can keep editing a collection after you’ve shared it: rename it, reorder rides, add more, remove ones that don’t fit, retag it, change its privacy — right from the collection’s own page if you’re signed in and it’s yours. The address is the one thing that doesn’t change.

Faster ways to add rides

Copying links works fine, but each device has a shortcut that skips it.

On a computer

Drag this button onto your bookmarks bar. Then, on any Strava activity page, click the bookmark — that ride is sent straight here, nothing to copy or paste. You’ll be asked to sign in the first time, and the ride comes with you.

Add to Activity Atlas
Can’t drag it? Add the bookmark by hand
  1. Right-click your bookmarks bar and choose “Add page…”.
  2. Name it Add to Activity Atlas.
  3. Copy the line below and paste it into the address (URL) field.
javascript:location.href='https://activity.bike/add?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)
On an Android phone

Add Activity Atlas to your home screen. It then appears in Strava’s own share sheet, so Share → Activity Atlas sends the ride here.

On an iPhone

iOS doesn’t let a website appear in a share sheet, so there’s no equivalent shortcut — use Share → Copy Link in Strava, then paste the link when you add rides.

Tags

A collection can carry up to 25 tags. Type them however you like — “Alps Trip” becomes alps-trip — and they’re tidied to lowercase, hyphenated and at most 20 characters, so Gravel and gravel never end up as two separate tags.

Tag a collection when you create it, or change its tags later by clicking them on the collection’s own page — or using the small tag control on its card in your profile listing.

Filtering is a link, not a mode

Your profile shows a bar of your own tags with a count beside each, most-used first. Choosing more than one narrows the list to collections carrying all of them, not any of them. The filtered page has its own address, so you can send someone straight to it.

Other things on your profile

Each collection card shows how many activities it holds, so you can tell a five-ride trip from a fifty-ride season at a glance.

When it’s your own profile you can also switch the collections list between one and two columns. That’s remembered for you, on your device — it doesn’t change what visitors see.

Tags are yours alone. They group your own collections, and there is no shared, site-wide tag directory — nobody browses “everything on Activity Atlas tagged gravel”. Tags on a private collection are visible only to you, the same as the collection itself.

Sharing & privacy

Every collection has one of three privacy settings, and you choose which for each one:

Public

Visible to anyone with the link, and listed on your public profile page for anyone browsing it. The default for anything you want people to discover.

Unlisted

Visible to anyone with the link, but it doesn't appear on your profile and is excluded from search engines. Good for a collection you want to send to specific people without putting it on display.

Private

Visible only to you. Everyone else gets the exact same "not found" page a link to a nonexistent collection would show — signing in as the owner is the only thing that unlocks it.

Signing in is only required to create or edit collections. Viewing one — public, unlisted, or your own private one — never requires an account, so anyone you send a link to can just open it.

A share link points at the collection, not at your Strava profile. Visitors see the rides you’ve chosen to include, in the order you’ve put them, and nothing else from your Strava account.

What it isn’t

  • It doesn't auto-import your rides. Strava’s developer terms don’t allow pulling and storing someone’s activity data in bulk, so there’s no “sync my Strava” button — you add rides one at a time by pasting a link or embed snippet. That’s a deliberate trade-off, not a missing feature.
  • It doesn't store your ride data. No titles, distances, or maps live on Activity Atlas's servers — every embed renders live from Strava itself. Activity Atlas only remembers which rides belong in which collection, and in what order.
  • It's still your Strava. Every embed deep-links back to the real activity on strava.com. Activity Atlas is an index and a share layer on top of Strava, not a copy of it.

FAQ

Do I need an account to view a collection?
No. Public and unlisted collections (and links to your own private ones) open for anyone, signed in or not. You only need an account to create or edit collections.
Can I add a private ride, or one from a private profile?
No — neither. Strava's embed service only serves public activities on public profiles, so there's nothing Activity Atlas can do about it: the ride is refused when you try to add it. And if a ride is made private after you've added it, it stops rendering — its card is replaced by a “not available” panel linking to the activity on Strava.
What's the difference between unlisted and private?
Unlisted collections still work for anyone with the link — they're just left off your profile and out of search results. Private collections don't work for anyone but you, no matter who has the link.
Can I remove a ride from a collection later?
Yes, any time, from the collection's own page if you're signed in as its owner.
What happens if I make a collection private after sharing the link?
The link stops working for everyone except you. Anyone who had it will see the same "not found" page a nonexistent collection would show.
Can I choose my collection’s web address?
Yes, when you create it. The new-collection dialog shows the address under the name as you type, and you can click the last part to set your own. After the collection exists the address is fixed — so if you care which one it gets, that’s the moment to say so.
What if the address I want is already taken?
If you typed one yourself, you’re told it’s in use and can pick another — you never get silently handed a different address. If you left it to follow the name, a number is added on the end instead, so two collections can share a name without clashing.
How do tags work?
Give a collection up to 25 short tags. They’re tidied automatically — lowercase, hyphenated, at most 20 characters — so you can’t accidentally end up with “Gravel” and “gravel” as two different tags. Your profile then offers them as filters, and picking several narrows to the collections carrying all of them.
Can other people see my tags?
They see the tags on collections they can already see, and can use them to filter your profile. Tags on a private collection are visible only to you. There’s no site-wide tag directory — tags organise your own collections, not everyone’s.
Does this use my Strava login?
No — signing in to Activity Atlas uses Google, and is completely separate from Strava. Rides are added by pasting a link or embed snippet from Strava, not by connecting your Strava account.
