Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more

I like this :) 18km/h is a little low imo (looking at my strava stats I'm usually just over 20km/h on my commute rides) but it's a good idea to add a limit

Couple remarks on the website itself:

- enable SSR if possible, having to enable javascript for a static website is annoying

- I guess you created this website on a mac? Be careful with scrollbars when you do; MacOS hides scrollbar but other OS don't and you easily end up with multiple useless scrollbars (like here with 3 unneeded vertical scrollbars)

hey, thanks, good feedback, yes 18km/h is quite slow but we aimed to a broader range of people for this 1st race, even people walking can do it.

And yes I'm already aware about the scrollbar thing, i'll fix it shortly

Yeah it does make sense :)

Did you think about a race where you also _lose_ "distance points" when you travel faster than some speed? Like a malus for car use, great malus for plane, etc.

Would be best if it could refrain from removing points when using public transport (which could be somewhat doable giving a lot of public transport routes are public to some extent?)

cool, a malus when you try to "cheat" would be a nice addition for sure, also considering public transport, but that looks harder to implement
