I have another new tool share with everyone. I’ve been working on this for a while now and this week I’m launching a DIY route profile sticker designer (https://design.cyclingeventstickers.com/) where you upload the GPX file (or URL), set your key points, colors, etc. and you’ll see a preview. You can then order your sticker right from the site! Right now I’m shipping to US and CA only. I can also handle sets, bulk orders, or additional customizations outside of that DIY process as usual.
I’ve created 10 discount codes for 1 free sticker. I would love feedback so if you are willing to poke around and provide feedback I can send you a code for a free sticker for whatever ride you are looking for! Please DM me here or contact me via the site. Thanks!
hi it wouldnt allow me to enter distances greater than 100km and auto switched back to the ride distance in miles. im in canada and use km
Ok, will DM you and get this taken care of!
I dropped a route (Equinox Octopus | 132.2 km Cycling Route on Strava) that Strava says has 13,139 ft of elevation, but the proof reported 11,100 ft.
Also, I’m curious about the turnaround time. I know that for some events the route might only be released a week or two before the day of the race. Basically, I want to make sure I get the most recent course, but that it also doesn’t show up after the event (or before I leave to travel to the event)
For me here in Seattle and him shipping from the DC area, it was only a few days via USPS. Ordered on Thursday and received on Monday!
Could be faster if you’re closer but I’m impressed either way both on the quality, service and shipping time!
I took a look and I was smoothing elevation a bit too much and that route… has a LOT of elevation :). Take another look, should be set: Cycling Event Stickers | Custom Sticker Designer
I’ll get orders out in 1-2 business days. From there it’s up to USPS. I’m in DC so typically I see a few days to the west coast if I ship in a mailer and a day or two more if I ship in a regular envelope. For only a few stickers I usually ship in an envelope with an option to upgrade. I would say in general a week might be tight but 10 days or so should be no problem. I do offer two-day or next day which I’m not sure is worth it for only a sticker or two.
Let me know if you need anything else or DM me or contact me at the site. Thanks!
Excellent! Happy to help out!
Sharing a few updates here since a lot of the feedback/features have actually come from people in this thread over time. I’ve incorporated a lot of the feedback and ideas from this thread (thank you!) into the sticker designer over the last few months, including:
• Free quick-print downloads now available
• Print-optimized digital downloads available too
• Gradient-colored elevation profiles for steep sections
• Better label handling / offsetting for crowded routes
• Icons for event points (aid stations, hazards, checkpoints, etc.)
• Improved elevation smoothing/accuracy
• A bunch of readability and layout improvements based on rider feedback
The idea behind the stickers is still pretty simple: give riders an easy-to-read, big picture overview of the route at a glance while still using their bike computer for the detailed data and navigation.
You can upload a GPX or paste a Strava / Ride with GPS link and generate a sticker automatically:

Also, I now have UNBOUND stickers available and ready to go:
• UNBOUND XL Sticker
• UNBOUND 200 Sticker
Really appreciate all the feedback and support from people in this thread! If there are features people want to see please DM me or reach out on the site.
