Let’s say you’re casually scrolling through Velo’s website when a headline catches your eye: something about the best towns for gravel cycling. You click, and soon you’re swept up in tales of endless gravel roads and incredible vistas. When you reach the last paragraph, your mind is made up — you’re going. You share the article, ask for advice, and soon the replies pour in: seasoned cyclists you’ve never met offer tips and another writer you follow points you to another piece detailing the best places to eat and sleep. Before long, you’re in the heart of a cycling paradise, heart pounding with excitement, living the story you first read about.

And when you post photos of your adventure on the Activity Feed — there you are in Patagonia, Arizona, face coated in dust while washing down a post-ride drink — the original author likes your post, perhaps even shares it with their followers. And just like that, the cycle begins again: reading, dreaming, sharing, inspiring. The world feels a little smaller, the roads a bit more attainable, as your story blends with others, creating an ever-expanding web of adventures.

This is the magic of the new Activity Feed by Outside — where every adventure begins with a story and grows through a community. Our new integrated social platform offers personalized content, community engagement, and seamless activity tracking — all in one place. Here’s how the Activity Feed works, how to join, and why you’ll love it.

What is the Activity Feed?

The Activity Feed is a new community-based platform that connects you through curated outdoor content and shared activities. It integrates content from over 25 platforms in the Outside Network, including Velo, Backpacker, Climbing, Yoga Journal, RUN, and SKI, and syncs activity data from hundreds of devices, apps, and events. Unlike other platforms, it provides a unique space designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts to engage, learn, and celebrate their love for adventure. It’s inclusive, not competitive, and everyone is invited.
