I realized I was probably riding the same “comfortable” routes over and over, so I decided to measure it.
Since the full map doesn’t really fit into one readable screenshot, I’m sharing a few zoomed-in screenshots from the regions where I’ve spent most time riding/running.
Numbers:
• 1,328 activities
• ~30,000 km
• 23,653 km² explored
Even after all that, most of my mileage is still packed into a few main corridors — way less exploration than I expected.

Method (high level):
• Data: my personal Strava activities (outdoor only).
• I buffer each GPS track slightly and merge everything into one “explored territory” polygon.
• These are just cropped screenshots from different regions of that same global map.
Limitations: buffering is an approximation; GPS drift and untracked trips aren’t included.
