One of those activities with beer in the title was the most kudoed activity in the United States. The activity was logged by Erik Binggeser in February in Austin, Texas. The ride which lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes only covered 53 km but it was what was done during the ride which received the attention. The activity was titled ‘Saturday. New record for slowest average speed? Pokémon and beer and so much wheelie practice. Hands are wrecked. Ed.” The ride received 6,938 kudos. His activity which combined beer, Pokémon and wheelies over the course of a leisure ride sounds more enjoyable than riding flat out in the Pyrenees for over five hours which is what Romain Bardet needed to do to get the most kudos worldwide.
