Strexit...

[Pikey]

F*ck it, I'm sick of it now...

I cant go out for a ride without pressuring myself, worrying about segments, my average speed, what way the wind is blowing, whether my tyre pressure is optimal, should I do the latest climbing challenge...

I forgot why I started riding in the first place...

I've forgotten to enjoy myself on my trike rides...

I'm Strava's Nigel Farage, goodbye, I'm leaving...

I have a new shiny non gps bike computer and my fun-ometer, that is all.

Anyone with me??? (counting on no stregret in 6 weeks time of course)...

Congratulations!
Strava is the curse of the cycling classes. Who cares?

 

[Smokin Joe]

Just ride.

How far, how fast, who gives a damn? If that sort of thing worries you, pin a number on your back and do it where it matters.

Too right...
Got to the point where I wasn't going out triking as it felt too much like being at work with freaking targets...

I'm free

This ^^^
Strava is for people without the balls to race ...

That's how it started, trying to keep the training up for the tt's each week in the summer.
It worked, I got a trophy, a real non strava one, then it got addictive...

I'm going to go against the grain. I enjoy using Strava, but I don't go chasing segments on it, I do chase the challenges, though they are pretty easy.

For finding new places to ride it is great. For looking at the rides of people you have come across on your ride it's great.

^That. I'd ride my bike anyway. I like the stats, I don't need the stats. Also nice to see where friends are riding.

Lol, I wish I had that level of moderation...

It's only because I ain't fast enough to bother the leader boards

 

[Levo-Lon]

I like my runkeeper app as it tells me my distance..
as for times, its irrelevant as i forget to pause when i go in the cafe after ..or get back to the house van etc.
Life is for enjoying

 

[Fab Foodie]

Go nice places, do nice things ....

Its a bit of fun to look at after riding and to compare year on year progress . The only time i use it seriously is to look at TT results on the same courses .

I download longer runs into Strava to see where I've been and what my numbers look like, purely for comparison purposes. I've no idea where segments are, and have no interest in chasing times - that's not why I'm out on a bike. Strava does provide interesting and useful data for more than just people who are racing themselves or others.

Im not addicted.
