strava

On my journey to work today, I rode across a cobbled car park and rather wittily gave it a Roubaix pun based name (imo!) Anyway, it wasn't a segment on Strava so I created it then waited to see where I ended up on the rankings (you know the drill: kom, then top ten, then 34th!) Turns out my...

Anyone ever followed a strava route you created online on the strava phone app? Recording a ride doesn't need data but does following a ride on the app need data switched on for hours or do you just need to have your GPS/Location switched on?

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I'm literally the latest of late people to the Strava party. Have been happy for years with keeping myself to myself on Garmin. I've got the VeloViewer bolt on so as to look at all the segments i've ridden over the years - lots of smug, self satisfied...

Bit of tyre advice required - Clement Strada vs Veloflex Master vs anything else, (700c x 23mm), tan wall preferred, but all black acceptable. But first - a long term review of Clement Strada LGG 700c x 25mm, tan wall, 60TPI: Need to replace these now as centre tread on rear tyre is worn &...

How do you guys sync workout mode activities to Strava? Possible via Garmin sync and tapiriik or something else?

I have a Strava account and used it up till I broke my hip in a bike accident 4 months ago and in a months time I hope to get back on my bikes again but I will be starting from scratch so my first mile will be my first mile. so can I have another name on Strava I will I have to delete my...

Easy.... offer to cycle home with a work colleague who lives near you..... Who mountain bikes, posts videos of himself trick unicycling (annoyingly he's really good...) and rides a road bike as his normal transport.... and most importantly only does part time as he is still in six form so has...

I hesitated to post this, as I know Strava bores some to tears, but if you don't ask, you will never know. I only use the free version for my own use to make sure I'm putting in some effort during my commute rides. All of a sudden, I have guys from Mexico and Brazil sending me "Kudos" messages...

On sunday, I went for a ride (92km with an elevation of just over 700 meters) According to Strava, my previous best climbing ride was 103 m, yet on my profile page, it still shows my biggest climb as 103 meters? Just a bit puzzled, as it has not updated since sunday? I uploaded from my Garmin...

Hi Guys I've been using Strava free for 18 months or so now and having got a Garmin Edge 820, I thought I'd go premium and get the segments live on screen to add a bit of interest. I'm slightly puzzled by the cost. If I go on their website and "go premium" it's £39.99/yr or £3.99/mo. But if...

Anyone use Strava website and share to Facebook? It's worked fine for the past couple of years, it copies across the ride details and a mini map of the ride, for the last few days though nothing. If I manually paste the Strava activity url and post onto Facebook all I see is the html link and...

On my commute I shadowed a guy going at a decent rate for a few miles then he turned off. When I got home I looked to see if he was on fly-by, he did not show up but someone further up the road did so I looked at their fly-bys and the guy just in front of me appeared on their list. Also when I...

Having recently wowed the kids with two KOMs on Strava (they are easily impressed due to a lifetime of paternal underachievement!) they now both want me to make them a Strava account so they can record times too: basically, I think they just want to see their names on a chart somewhere! Anyway I...

Finally got on board the Garmin band wagon with a 520, one of my reasons for wanting this one is the Strava Live Segments. I have very little time to do cycling so tend to go for a jolly good all out thrash whenever I get a chance- the Strava Live has really pushed me to increase my...

Only been on Strava a couple of weeks and just bagged my first KOM - out of 360. Now whilst my fellow Strivers ( Stravettes?) may be in awe of my newfound prowess, I know it was almost solely achieved due to my shameless manipulation of the wind conditions. There is a north facing straight...

My two cycling buddies and I are all on Strava, (Hilary, Julie and me) on one of our rides Julie used Hilary's computer to log a ride we did, she logged into her own account and used her own garmin watch. but, since then Hilary cannot get her off our rides, even though Julie is not there with us...

It is frustrating when you are using HRM data to monitor your fitness (e.g. Strava fitness and freshness) and you end up with a ride with no HRM data, either because you forgot to wear your HR band or the battery went. Here is a way you can insert an average HR across the ride: I managed to...

Can anyone help explain, I'm looking at he Strava times for the alpe d'huez climb and in the over 55s section the vam figures don't seem to tally with the metres ascended that are on the internet covering the description of the climb, in particular after the first top 50 places they appear to...

Anyone else still having problems with Strava? My Ride London segments are still wrong, Strava thinks I've done some of the segments 3 times, yet I've only entered twice! It's only the earlier ones that seem out and all the rides I've logged since are fine

My Garmin Connect account is linked to Strava, and for months no issues. Right now it isn't showing yesterday's RideLondon, yet it does show my route to/from the start/finishes. Would it be down to the hold ups or something that is causing it? Originally the rides before and after didn't show...

Does anybody know how accurate the speed measurement is on Strava? Apparently my top speed today was 52.1mph, this would have been on the long descent from Bury hill down to Arundel. It's quick and is a lovely reward for the climb up there but 50mph seems off.

So long story short went out on a ride this morning and my Garmin route went hey wire meaning my turn by turn instructions didn't work but i let it go as my riding partner had his Garmin with the same route and I had an idea of roughly where we were heading. Anyway after taking the wrong turn...

I have noticed that before this month, all rides used the start time as the time stamp for a ride. Now all my rides use the end time as the time stamp. I don't recall changing my settings. Both the rides below started around 8am.

Hi there I've downloaded the Strava app onto my phone. One of my friends has it too and he posts his trip details onto Facebook with it. I also have a Garmin Edge 200 cycling computer thingy! The thing is: I'm hopeless with technology - how do I use the Strava app to record and then post on...

I keep getting emails from Strava offering 30 days Free upgrade to Premium, on each occasion when I click through they want credit card details before giving me something free. I refuse to do this & email them n each occasion advising them, when they offer a free trail it should be exactly that...

I used to be very "bah humbug" when it came to Strava, and being competitive, but slowly, it grew on me and I started to get the bug, getting faster and fitter as time went on. Now, I`m finding the opposite, I feel slow and useless, I`ve scraped together 4 KOM`s in the last 3 years when others...

There's a guy who lives locally to me who's just about to complete 25,000 miles (mostly on his daily commute) for kids Neuroblastoma awareness and fundraising - link: https://lifecycleforneuroblastoma.com. Some great blogs in there plus Justgiving link Owing to him just about being finished...

I hear this often, sometimes in jest, sometimes I'm not sure. Now I habitually log my rides on Strava et.al.and I'm in two minds about this sentiment. On one hand, I like to take people at their word, about their rides, on the other hand, I often hear people telling me about their 400km ride in...
