About this creation
Mapped out in Nijmegen, Netherlands, this GPS art represents an animal under the name "🚴🏼♂️ THIS IS AN OCTOPUS". The neighbourhood suits this kind of shape: the street layout gives the routing algorithm enough room to honour the outline without cutting corners.
The route covers 161.0 km, roughly 8h03 at an easy cycling pace, which makes it a half-day ride. Every turn follows real roads from OpenStreetMap: Draw My Loop's snapping algorithm keeps the outline on the actual street network.
The GPX file is available on the page. Import it into Strava, Garmin Connect or Komoot, follow it with a watch or phone, and the drawing reappears on the recorded activity. You can also fork this route from the map and adapt it to your own neighbourhood before exporting.
