Reviewer 2 Report

Thanks for submitting this paper for being considered in Urban Science. The manuscript (urbansci-2080896) is empirical study investigating convenience of the digital elevation models (DEMs) to analyze the impact of topography and routes on rural mobility patterns at the level of formal and informal cycle track networks in Bugesera District. The topic addressed is worth of investigation, and the theoretical/empirical approaches considered result interesting and may contribute in a substantial manner to the scientific state of affairs in GPS-based mobility research. The manuscript is easy to follow, the statistically analysis is reasonable, the conclusion is accurate.
