There's only speed data - no HR, cadence, power, etc, not even any device data. On this 74 mile "ride," the moving time and elapsed time are exactly the same. The map looks like it's just a route that was drawn on RideWithGPS or something - all sharp angles with no human wandering, just precise tracking down the middle of the roads, crosswalks, and paths -



The speed tracking is similarly artificial and angular.

What the hell motivates people to take the time to cook up something like this?
