Why discriminate against those who don't have a heart rate monitor or a cadence sensor?

It's not discriminating. It's just some people are not as honest as yourself.
Think of it as stacking evidence. The more there is the better.
It's pretty hard to fake a HR monitor reading if you are not actually doing the graft. Same with cadence.
There is nothing to stop someone going out in their car with the gps on and go at just the correct speed to make it realistic. With only the GPS as a speedo, and no other measurements, then who could possibly flag it?

This is brilliant. Laurens Ten Dam is addicted to Strava.

Hope someone can help me here. I've got a ride of 0miles due to the fact that my device couldn't detect motion. It's trying to upload but constantly fails and tries again. I cant delete the ride from my device (iphone) and it doesn't show on my stava web page. How do I get rid of it. I'm sure it is affecting my battery life and is irritating in general.

Delete the app, it will delete all the data with it, re install the app.

I could very easily change my cadence and heart rate for any ride taken with my Garmin 705.

you can use endomondo and export the track
Will it contain all the right information to track the segments and the like?

Yes, you can save the file from Endomondo as a .tcx file and then upload to Strava and it will pick up all the segments as normal.

Yes. Both apps run the same .tcx file format and can be interchanged.

Open the tcx, or even raw data file, and amend the integer variables. I'd assume they only use a byte for heart rate, be interesting to see what they can cope with on cadence though. To be honest two bytes may be better, but the higher byte would almost never be used. You can also modify the co-ordinates, modifying the time is easier to notice that the file has been amended as the devices tend to use a fixed time interval.
