It would be great if the heatmap had query options.
This would then make it really useful to cycle advocacy and safety groups and even to those researching where to open cycle related businesses.
An example scenario: Say I wanted to open a bike shop and cafe in West London and I'm looking around Holland Park: http://labs.strava.com/heatmap/#14/-0.19582/51.50592/gray/bike http://labs.strava.com/heatmap/#14/-0.19582/51.50592/gray/bi...
It's clear that there are two main East-West routes on the North and South sides of the park (created by Hyde Park splitting traffic along two roads).
But which is the better location for the shop? The North side? Or the South?
If the line thickness could be adjusted to see differences between the two it would be helpful.
If the days of week or even hours of day could be just to restrict the data included in the lines it would be helpful.
That would allow you to determine whether the lines are purely commuters or include a decent number of weekend recreational cyclists too (more likely to give you trade 7 days per week).
Such query parameters would also allow cycle safety groups to have access to basic insights about cycle traffic loads without having already completed counting (leaving people with tally counters at junctions).
