Every ride page has a small Route GPX link at the top, next to the title pills. Click it and you get a ready-to-use .gpx file of the route, derived from the simplified track Bikelog stores (10 m tolerance). Open it in any planner, share it with a friend, drop it onto your head unit to ride the same loop again.

Privacy: if you've enabled "hide route endpoints" in Settings, the GPX you serve to followers is trimmed the same 250 m on each end. You always get the full track for your own downloads.

New rides are auto-tagged on ingest with your primary bike for the activity type — MTB rides land on your MTB, gravel rides on your gravel bike, indoor sessions on your trainer. If Bikelog guessed wrong (or you rode a different bike than usual), use the BIKE dropdown on the ride page and pick the right one. Saves on change, no extra click.

To create or edit your bikes (add new ones, mark a primary, retire one), head to My Bikes in the top nav.

Click the small pencil icon next to the title. The title turns into an editable text field; type the new name, hit Save. Empty the field and save to clear the title — Bikelog will fall back to a synthesised name ("Afternoon MTB Ride", "Early morning Gravel Ride", etc.) based on time of day and ride type.

Sometimes a ride's numbers don't represent real training — a test upload, a ride logged by a friend on your account, a sensor that drifted and reported half the actual distance. Tick the Exclude from stats checkbox in the ride page's title row and the ride stays everywhere you can see it (the activity list, the calendar, route catalogue, map) but its numbers stop counting toward:

• Overall totals (distance, time, elevation, TSS)
• Yearly totals and the monthly bar charts on Stats
• The fitness / training-load model (CTL / ATL / TSB)
• The Today card's recommendation and "last ride" timing
• The week summary in the top nav

Un-tick the box any time to bring the numbers back in. The ride and its data are never destroyed — only the rollups skip it while the flag is on.

On your own rides with a GPS route, the title row has a Create segment link. It opens an editor where you drag a start and a finish handle along your track to mark a stretch of road you want to time yourself on — a climb, a sprint, your daily commute kicker — give it a name, and save.

New segments are private by default (only you see them); un-tick the box in the editor if you want to share. Matching against your rides happens in the background, so times don't appear instantly.

Segments are experimental right now: while we build the feature out, segments you create may be reset or removed.

The red Delete ride button at the end of the title row (your own rides only) removes the ride permanently — the activity itself, its GPS data, the originally uploaded file, and any photos attached to it. You'll be asked to confirm first.

Deletion is final: there is no undo and no trash bin. If the numbers are the problem rather than the ride itself, consider Exclude from stats (above) instead — it keeps the ride but takes it out of every total.

Go to Settings → Connected services and click Connect Wahoo. You'll be sent to Wahoo's own sign-in page to approve the connection — Bikelog never sees your Wahoo password. After approving you land back in Settings, and that's it: a one-time setup.

From then on, every ride you record on your ELEMNT appears in Bikelog automatically, usually within a few minutes of the ride syncing to Wahoo's cloud (i.e. once your head unit has talked to the Wahoo app). Synced rides show a small "Synced automatically from Wahoo" badge under the map.

Manual uploads keep working exactly as before — the duplicate check recognises a ride that arrives twice, so uploading a file that also synced won't create a double.

Settings → Connected services → Disconnect. New rides stop syncing immediately, and Bikelog's access to your Wahoo account ends. You can reconnect whenever you like.

Rides that were already imported remain in your training log until you decide otherwise — you can delete any or all imported data from bikelog.de at any time.

If you want to revoke the authorisation on the other side too, you can additionally remove Bikelog from the authorised apps in your Wahoo account settings.

If Wahoo's authorisation expires or is revoked, the Connected services card in Settings shows a connection problem notice with a Reconnect button — one click through Wahoo's sign-in fixes it. Rides recorded while the connection was down sync from your device to Wahoo as usual, but only rides recorded after reconnecting are picked up automatically; anything from the gap can simply be uploaded manually (FIT export from the Wahoo app).

Strava's API doesn't let third-party apps fully access your location data — they only hand out summary numbers, not the actual GPS trace points. Importing rides without their tracks would defeat the purpose of a route-aware training log.

That's the whole reason this site exists: to give riders full control over their own data. Upload your own GPX/TCX/FIT files, export them whenever, take them wherever — no platform in the middle deciding what you're allowed to do with your own rides.
