Woohoo!! Took 2 places on the one segment on my way home!! Need to shave 8 seconds to get KOM (I assume, as I don't even know what KOM means) gonna be tough as I'm only on a giant escape hybrid lol and I weigh 17st and I'm not particularly fit...

Seems like someone committed a code change on the strava website without checking it first.
Done that plenty of times my self but this is a real balls up!

I had simililar (I got the notification I'd lost my KOM to bloke who was pretty clearly getting a lift after an RTC) and I think you done the right thing; in my case I asked if he was OK and after a wee conversation he volunteered to remove it without me asking.
 
Just wondering if any of you guys get random requests to 'follow' you on strava. I don't mind when it's someone I know, or even another cyclist who lives locally. But can't quite grasp why someone from the other end of the country would want to, I have even had requests from the USA!

A few, I also have a few requests pending from people I may possibly know via various forums or through other acquaintances, but because I am not sure, I don't click accept.

I've had a few; I usally check out their profile first before responding, I usually look first to see if they're a real cyclist/person and then where they are and who they follow are followed by already; sometimes you can establish then if they are another cc'er but if in doubt I follow the golden rule of not responding.

Same here, had another today from a London type, anyone on here?
I tend to just follow/allow people I've met with a couple of exceptions.

Some dodgy Scottish bloke from Peterborough is following me....
