Runners and cyclists make art – level 1
11-04-2024 15:00
Some runners and cyclists have a new hobby. They make special art. Fewer cars are on the roads during the coronavirus. People also have more free time.
Some people make pictures. They use the Strava app. Strava is a cycling and running app. It shows where someone runs or cycles. Some people plan where they go. They put points in the app. Then they run or cycle.
They connect the points. They make a picture from the points. They must start again if they make a mistake.
One gallery on the Internet already has more than 18,000 pictures. People from all the world put the pictures there. There are new pictures every day.
Difficult words: hobby (an activity which someone does in his free time for fun), art (paintings, drawings, music, and so on), app (a computer program in a mobile phone which does special things), gallery (a place to show art).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What inspired people to start using the Strava app to create art with their running and cycling routes?
