For others, such as Strava, you can just hit start, put your phone in your jersey pocket or in a bike phone mount and go.

I am so pleased to live in the digital age when most of us have free, accessible tools to document those stories individually – without the need for complex digital skills or expensive publishing platforms.For some apps – Google Maps, for instance – you need to have your device on the handlebar to take full advantage. We now have an opportunity to speak up, to express ourselves and to share those hyperlocal, transmedia stories. This form of storytelling – if planned in a smart way – is actually very easy to do. This is an example of a transmedia story – story published in multiple platforms. I came home and posted the videos to my social media channels and now updated them on our YouTube channels and blogged about it all.

I used the app to record the route and take photos. Black Lives Matter – like other contemporary collective movements – give us an opportunity to open up to better listening and to change. There are a lot of voices in this discussion, all of them are valid. (You can see the full story as a webpage here.)Īs the city landscape changes due to the courageous work of activists, artists and many other citizens, it’s really important to document those changes. My son’s school took on the Black Lives Matter as a topic this semester, so for his Sports Day on Tuesday, I took him for a bike ride around Bristol mapping out just a few places related to this important movement. It can also be a great tool to tell digital stories. I personally think it is a fantastic way of creating small keepsakes from our outdoor adventures. When you finish the route you can edit the experience mixing together your route, its stats and your photos. When you start your route, open the app, start tracking your movements and simply stop now and again to take a photo. So why not capture all those memories while we can? All you need is a free (or paid – for more options) version of Relive app on your smartphone. As most of us move more outdoors to enjoy the safety of nature, we also seem to be getting back to longer walks, runs, bike rides. This week I went back to using Relive app and so today I would like to share with you what I really like about it.
