How to Track Cycling Days Without Recording Every Ride

Can I track cycling days without a detailed diary?

The calendar can include weekend rides, commuting or both, depending on what you want to see. If the question is which workdays you cycled, Cycling Commute gives you a more specific record. If you simply want riding days together, Cycling Days can cover the wider activity.

How do I use X Calendar to record cycling days?

To start tracking cycling days, open X Calendar on your iPhone. Give the activity its own calendar so you can find the dates quickly later. Then make the first entry after the activity or completed day you want to record.

For Cycling Days, it can be easiest to make the entry soon after you finish your bike ride. If you remember later, add the actual date only when you know it. The calendar can still be useful without filling every blank square. Keeping the dates honest means you can come back weeks later and understand what the marks are reminding you of.

After a Sunday ride, add an X to Cycling Days. After commuting by bike on Tuesday, mark that date too if commuting belongs in the same record. Alternatively, keep commuting on a separate calendar. Riding to work and home again still appears as one cycling date here.

• Create a calendar called Cycling Days.
• After you finish your bike ride, tap that date to add an X.
• Open Cycling Days whenever you want to see the dates you have marked.

What can I see when I look back at cycling days?

Looking back can remind you of outings that are easy to forget among work and other travel. You might see regular commute dates or a handful of weekend rides. A GPS cycling tool can keep routes, speed and distance when you want them; the X marks give you the simpler view of riding days.

A commute calendar can answer a different question from a weekend riding calendar. Cycling Commute shows which workdays involved the bike, while Weekend Rides shows leisure outings. If you want both, keep them separate. If the broad question is simply which days you rode, one Cycling Days calendar may be enough. You can choose the level of detail without changing the simple way you add an X.

Choose whether you want all cycling days or just commuting, then use a calendar name that makes that clear.
