1. The guides offer fun, user-friendly, structured experiences that provide a draw to a community. 

2. The guides encourage connection with a community's culture, heritage, landscapes, and businesses.

3. The guides foster a positive engagement with place, allowing visitors and locals to create memorable, Instagram-worthy experiences of joy while the points of interest provide an element of surprise and delight.

4. The guides enable individuals to learn about where they recreate and live, thus increasing a sense of belonging and pride for that place.

5. The guides encourage users to spend at local businesses, thereby having a positive economic impact on the community.

6. The guides provide an inclusive experience as the guides are free of charge and suitable for a variety of recreationalists.

7. The guides promote health and well-being by encouraging individuals to locomote by bicycle or foot. This allows for a more intimate and environmentally-friendly form of recreation and/or tourism. 

8. The guides help keep users safe by using routes — primarly recreational infrastructure, trails, and secondary roads — that have been vetted.

9. The guides can be easily updated and distributed, allowing for real-time changes in the routes or points of interest.  

10. Depending on the use case, guides can be available online for individuals to download and use at their own leisure. This allows for "drip tourism," which brings visitors to a community throughout the year at a sustainable and manageable cadence as opposed to stressing local businesses and infrastructure by concentrating crowds into time-specific events.
