From Spain to probe.bike
Why I Built This
Strava is amazing for individual rides, but it falls short for multi-day adventures. There's no way to aggregate trips, no storytelling features, and no quirky comparisons that make your achievements relatable. probe.bike fills that gap.
Stories That Shaped probe.bike
Each adventure taught me something new about what cyclists need from their data

Every ride continues to inform what probe.bike becomes. From local loops to epic adventures - all feeding into better analytics.
The Gap in Cycling Analytics
Existing cycling platforms focus on individual rides and basic metrics, but they miss the bigger picture. How do you convey the magnitude of a multi-day adventure? How do you understand patterns across months or years of riding?
The existing tools just weren't built for cyclists who wanted to understand their adventures deeply. There was a gap between raw data and meaningful insights that could help cyclists appreciate the full scope of their achievements.
That's where probe.bike comes in - bridging the gap between data and understanding, between numbers and stories.
probe.bike represents a new approach to cycling analytics - one that prioritizes insights over data dumps, stories over spreadsheets, and understanding over overwhelming complexity.
