@@Guernica-Green I once had a segment with the bike on the car, took me several months before I figured how to delete it, but it was no KOM, 9 riders were faster, because it was 60 km/h -zone and 0,5% down and a road uesed by pro-riders.
@@ssaunders2kjust use your phone’s browser. Literally takes 2 minutes and boom, segment/activity flagged & most of the time the activity is deleted. I’ve done that many times
I managed to ride about 8-10k at over 800kph once 😂 My old phone's power settings just wouldn't agree with me. I took off riding and checked my phone a while later, and it showed me moving that 8-10k near instantly.
Strava is an integral part of my cycling so glad they keep improving and more than happy to pay to help sustain this fantastic tool. Works out at well under 5% of my annual cycling budget (tyres, bike servicing, consumables, fuel, annual training camp, British cycling membership etc..). Wish those who want something for nothing thought the same.
Strava Premium needs to add an “equipment” section to Gear so that you can track miles on consumables. With multiple bikes, it’d be great to know how many miles on tires, chains, or even drivetrains.
I’m a road cyclist. Paid Strava subscription. I am considering quitting Strava all together or unfollowing several people. I want to see cycling. However, Strava has become like FaceBook. I have people posting walks, Tai Chi, swimming, shovelling the driveway (seriously), working out at the gym. I even had one guy playing the guitar and posted it on Strava because it was a finger work out! WTF I want to choose which activities go to my feed! Come on Strava, it’s time for this feature.
I've had several days cutting, splitting and stacking wood that are more worthy of a "workout" than some toodle around on a road bike tbh... at the end I was KOM (Knackered Old Man)
I started using ActivityFix to automate a lot of things Strava hasn't implemented yet, I highly recommend it. I also recommend that Strava look at it themselves to see how many features they're missing...
Tag a commute manually? This is the 21st century, why can't we give home and work locations so commutes are auto detected? Maybe we are not sending Strava enough of our hard-earned money.
Valid point, but that's really into smart features / AI. Their website pages take over a second to load each time and that's known to be a trivial web performance topic that they have left since the beginning. Also, when recording with a smartwatch for example, you can use "Bike Commute" profile and strava will mark it as commute when the file is synced from the watch.
Don't mind this as much as them apparently being unwilling to actually do anything with rides tagged as commutes. Would love to get a monthly summary of CO2 saved bike commuting or total stats of how much commuting vs just riding for the sake of it I've done etc but nada
Problem with dark mode is that as you click on notifications they don’t change color from lighter to darker like they do with out dark mode. When you have a lot of notifications is hard to remember where you left off.
Needs a feature to work out that a MTB on a roof rack cannot take a road section KOM... I've been sad enough to flag a few ridiculous KOM's, and it seems to disappear instantly without them even querying it with the offender...or, do they just remove it from MY page so I think it's been done, would someone else then looking at that segment still see the offender??
I just use Strava to record the distances I ride and the overall time. Auto stop and start works when it wants and segment times are useless as the signal can take seconds to record your location and give false readings. Take care using it as trying to beat your own and other peoples segment times can lead to risk taking, endangering yourself and others. On a brighter note, there's going to be weather tomorrow.
I wish you could separate heat maps to diffiferent sports when using in the app. Only seems to be enabled on desktop version. I find it hard on heatmaps to work out what is on/off road.
and yet I still can't see my elevation gain during a recording/ ride or my average speed, unless i stop and pause recording, surely these 2 would be simpler to do than half the things on this list
hide start time is a feature that was only invented cause post covid people still work home office a lot and go enjoy the weather during working hours and I love it
strava (which sponsors gcn iirc) is a tool for training/fitness tracking. i have my fitness watch synced to it but i keep the competition to actual races.
All I need is to assign a specific default bike to a specific activity (ride va indoor), and evens better to specific routes (eg commuting). TL;DR: Specific bikes for specific activities
Is it safe for women? I know you said I can hide start time but if I post my run regularly will people know where I live? I’m trying to figure out if its more beneficial for me to be public or I need to stick to a private account
nice analysis... thanx... at the coffee overlay we have to subscribe so to use it and we can spot or point other things like free dogs on the road for example? regards
The commute Co2 saved is silly, and the reason I stopped tagging my commutes as such. It's comparing it to if I would have driven, which isn't what I would have done Would have taken the subway if I didn't bike.
I wish I could tag a ride as a commute and receive normal stats. I don't care about my carbon savings. I commute for fitness - I want normal stats. Since they made that change I no longer code my rides as commutes.
Fully understand us 6 ft 8in cyclist never get KOM rides.. But a few weeks ago on Zwift i did get a Polka Dot Jersey. It must had been a computer glitch.
Great to be able to see how much carbon you save on commutes but is there any way to measure when you’ve offset the environmental cost of the bike’s manufacturing?
@@Frostbiker AFAIK, only RideWithGPS has the option to connect your sensors, and the ability to manage your segments. It's the best from the pack, but they still have annoying bugs and room for improvement (I sync my rides between Strava and RideWithGPS).
Tbh all things you can see if you jsut look at the freakin page, nothing "secret" or hidden, like for instance the Shake your phone to give kudos to all in the groupride....
@@contestjustice2012 Not sure I agree. While Strava does poorly at defining it on their support page, I only need to look back at my own Biggest Climb. When I click on the link it takes me to my ride of Mount Ashland, Oregon, highlighting only the meters gained to the summit and then ignoring the remaining elevation gain for the rest of the ride. Take a look at your own and see if it does the same.
