Is the answer the same person that cared?

I find it all rather nonplussing, like life generally

It’s crossed my mind to get a ‘Pro’ cyclist or runner to do one activity for me: and to see the comments I get. For giggles. But for no other reason or done with any genuine fake intent……

And this is today's news? Where have ITN been this last decade?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

That’s pretty cheap. My services would cost a lot more than a little over £2 an hour.

Strava is very easy to fake data on, you don't need a "mule" to do the actual activity

I don't understand why this is news. There will always be cheats in all walks of life and Strava is no exception. If people want to cheat, they obviously have no self-esteem and no conscience, just a bunch of idiots.

Rule 1 of Strava: If anyone is faster than you, they have cheated.

Always shows 0 for elevation change though. So easy to spot…..

You can get around that. You create a route in Strava, export the gpx file, then use another website to create a tcx file that has all the data in it and you upload that back to Strava.

I found it when I was looking at getting county boundaries as a route into Strava so I could work out what veloviewer squares I needed to complete a county.

The world is a mighty strange place.

But it's much better being in it, than out!

If I was paying someone for the results on my Strava account, I'd want my money back.

That means more than a third of strava users must be cheating

 

[Supersuperleeds]

99% in my case.
