Silly STRAVA Racing

[Hacienda71]

I've been using Strava for a number of weeks now without really 'getting into it' as such but it's interesting to see how you compare to others.
I noticed on some of the screen shots 'Leaderboard//CycleChat' I can't find a CycleChat club on Strava though. Where should I be looking?

Lots of personal bests on the way into work. Looks like some riders use the bristol to bath cycle track as a TT course! I was taking it easy but last time I rode the track was on my old hybrid and before that was with my old cassette

Did you notice the hidden section. You placed 7/43.

I got an email saying someone had taken one of my KOM's but I'm still showing No 1. I searched the guys name and he's from London, some 400+miles away. I know he could be in the area but why do I still show KOM? Anyone?

I've had loads of emails saying I'd lost KOM for just one segment; I don't know if folk are flagging up the rides that beat me

Boom

Kom on smokies up and down hill

Crimmey has gone and taken them Gaz.

Didsbury Road Climb KOM for me. Apparently I'd had it before, but got an email saying I lost it. Well I've got it back - just...

Since discovering Strava I have found my average commute speed has increased by about 4 mph MattObrien, coming after you next....

The email from strava doesn't help with a low profile . Eh crims

Someone seems to be flagging a lot of segments in my area as 'hazardous' when they aren't.
Is there anything I can do to undo the marked segments?

Note that someone tried to re-create some segments with (NOT HAZARDOUS) in the name, still got flagged pretty quickly.

Same happened here as well (I noticed this whilst having a perusal on the strava viewer website). Most of the ones flagged I suspect go across junctions. I wonder if they have some new program that flags segments over junctions (although i appreciate that many segments still exist where they go over junctions)? Or is someone spamming the site?

This one is strange. It's a narrowish road with not much traffic, a cattle grid and some cows. :S

Sounds like somebody with an anti cycling agenda is doing the flagging.

I placed 33/38 on a segment today. I got stopped at THREE sets of traffic lights on the 1.3 mile stretch. I'm not going to flag it I'll just not bother with it. I can't remember ever getting three green lights when I used to use that road regular.

I flagged a sector on the cycle track, 1 mile perfectly flat and straight but it's a tunnel and people are reaching 1230 mph through it! At that speed someone's gonna get hurt

I've just been pointed to a segment where I'm averaging 39.6mph through the Masterton Speed Trap, if you go into the ride detail it was a slow/ paced ride and I only maxed at 34.5mph
