I started a https://www.mygeargarage.com https://www.mygeargarage.com Initially it was for tracking all sorts of gear you use in your activities (because strava only tracks bike or shoes). I then added workouts, and challenges (but then strava added custom challenges...). My workout component allows you to share the url with friends and they can RSVP, you can add the route and stuff. But I don't have a ton of social features, mainly because I built this for myself and somehow organically it has grown to a few hundred users. I'm not really looking to grow it... but it does everything I need and others seem to find it useful...

I've come across your site before - I think you might need to rebrand though, your name is more likely to imply a car workshop tracker than cycling workout planning

> Initially it was for tracking all sorts of gear you use in your activities (because strava only tracks bike or shoes) That doesn't seem to be true anymore. These days I can add any kind of gear to my bikes in Strava and track its usage over time. I use it for tracking tire or chain mileage in particular.

  Ah, cool. I was not aware they added that. I've been using MGG... Though I will say mine is better as you can set milestones, create groups of gear, add multiple to a ride...etc. For example, in Strava I can add a bike and it's components. In MGG I can add a hashtag rule (say #road or #mtb) and MGG will add whatever components to that ride. Be it a HRM, helmet, tire, chain, bike etc. Lastly - MGG will support this for any activity, not just cycling. Like when I run I use different shoes for trail vs road. And again, maybe HRM or running pack too. I like to track everything I use to measure ROI and durability. Anyway... been a paying Strava user since 2013, glad to see they are adding stuff still.
