Serving Maps for the World's Athletes
The Strava mobile clients and website render millions of map images every day to provide geographic context to activities, routes, segments, and more. [We use and love Mapbox](http://labs.strava.com/blog/tailoring-maps-strava-athletes/) for our interactive maps on the web, but because of our high volume of requests, we came to a point where it was more economical to build our own static map service.
