Thijs de Buck, an MRI physicist based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, recently posted on Reddit that he built a speed and distance tracker for his hamster’s wheel, with the data automatically uploaded to Mollie’s own Strava account. Mollie, his 10-month-old hamster, is now committed to logging nightly runs with distance, pace, and time.
One recent activity showed 6.06 miles in 4 hours and 37 minutes. The next night, Mollie logged 5.55 miles in 3 hours and 56 minutes.
Makes you wonder what other animals we could make Strava accounts for, no?
