Rider Murphy Mack traced out the words ‘Marry me Emily’ surrounded by a heart, using the free software Strava, favoured by cyclists to record routes, speed and elevation. His romantic gesture on the streets of San Francisco which took in 18 miles and burned 749 calories in 80 minutes was enough win over his girlfriend.Strava allows people to use a smartphone or Garmin to track their athletic activity and then view the route they have taken on a map.
