strava for all tracking purposes. Typically mobile app for e-city riding, e-mtb and all-road bike have gps computer mount (Stages L200).

Trailforks for some MTB trails.

Free use for either.

As others here are saying, RidewithGPS is very popular ( and local to Portland). If I were to pay today for a service, this would be the one I'd choose.

Zwift for indoor riding, which I've done alot more of over the past several years. ( which isnt saying much)

I used to work for a company called Stages Cycling, and they had their own 'coaching' app called Link, but haven't checked in on that since I stopped working there/using power meters.
 
I use Garmin (530 for me) to record, along with HRM and power meter. I have used the ride look-up function om it a few times be appears to suck.

Ride with gps expiring and I think I will move on. Trying out on-x backcountry and liking it so far. I can get both it and on-x off-road when getting out in the cruiser or moto for less than the ride with gps. It seems much easier to find trails and info.
 
I use a Garmin 1030 plus with a heart rate monitor and cadence and speed Sensors for my bike rides. Garmin Epix pro 2 for all my other stuff (runs, workouts, hockey etc.) I never got into the entire strava thing.
 
I use a Garmin Edge 1040 for my mountain bike rides. I have Garmin Connect setup to push my rides to Strava, which to me is more of social app.

I use Strava for urban rides on my bikes that don't have Garmin mounts.

The Garmin data is generally more accurate than Strava data.

The battery run time on the Garmin is never an issue compared to my iphone's battery dying in the middle of a ride while using Strava.

The mapping features on the Garmin are better than Strava.

On urban rides, i'll often use Google Maps audio in my Air Pods or Shokz headphones to help navigate me using the bike setting in Google Maps for routing.
