I was warned about Strava in a thread I started about phone apps, when I got my blackberry holder. I didn't believe reports about how addictive it can be. I do now! totally addicted after just a few days. Every commute has become a series of time trials trying to scalp the person above you and gain personal bests.... Great fun.

King Of the Mountains. It basically means the person who has the winning time on a segment. If you loose a KOM, you get a message and you then go out and try to beat the person who beat you.

New bike coming tomorrow (hopefully) so look out local KOM's, I'm coming!
As Matthew says King of the Mountain but in essence no mountains are required / involved most of the time. Its just a bit catchier than "FCOWTW" Fastest commuter on way to work

Currently 11th with 24.3m/h but need to beat 29.3m/h. Seems impossible.

cheers for the info. I'm nowhere near the top of any segment so no danger there then.
And a good draft

You'll soon learn how to make your own segments, you can still have a KOM with only you riding the route..... I'm too slow to actually beat anyone...
