Totaly pi**ed off today, my workmates and i use a segment that i made through town that we all ride to and from work and its just for a friendly bit of comp between us. Well some to**er flagged it as hazzardous so Strava took the leader board down, no warnings no message from Strava nothing. If they just looked at the fastest times they could see they were done in the early hrs and when the roads are dead, that was the whole point of it, you have to know the area to know when the traffic is quietist. Why does it only take 1 person to flag it and spoil the fun of 10 or so early birds.If you think a segment is hazzardous dont compete for it simple.
Rant over.

can't you just recreate the segment in strava using one of your rides that covers the deleted segment?

today's attempt at flying - think I may have to give strava up - I was genuinely cycling - though not on the triban 3 today, but my new rockhopper. what really confuses me is that there is a very small section towards the "end" of it where it started to log what I was cycling and followed the road for an short period before letting me fly onwards again...

I used to have issues when using a smart phone to record Strava and Endomondo. I got the cheapest bike specific Garmin they do and it is far more accurate. It also has really good battery life, which was always a concern using the phone as I had visions of being miles from anywhere having a crash or serious mechanical and having no battery life left on the phone.

Doing a longer route tomorrow as the fam are going to a panto. Get a few more segments under my belt.

I received a Garmin 200 for Christmas and took it out for the first proper test today. I think this strava business could become quite addictive, although I suspect I'll need to seek out some fairly obscure segments in order to have any chance of a KOM.

My club mate (mountain goat/whippet) just stole one of my few cat3 KOM's.
Civil war!!!!

The guy in the lead seems to have a remarkably high average for such a road.

There's 2 segments in Kings Lynn (Norfolk) within the public area known as "The Walks".
All i can say is someone doesn't take strava too seriously.

No, looks like he took his bike in a car, cycled then drove away. If you look at his "ride" there is a double red line to the south of the ride. If you then match up where his speed starts to clim it is to the nort of start. Flag the ride.
