I have recently acquired a Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro to replace my old Amazfit GTS that I'm giving to my dad (as he lost his old one), and when I tried to link the Mi Fitness app to Strava, after the auth page I got a page Error 403: Connected Athletes Limit Exceeded. I've gone back and forth, even disconnecting my previous connection to Amazfit from my Strava account, but I still get this same error and they simply don't connect I've also spent quite a bit of time browsing to see if there was any other end user with the same issue as me, but I haven't been successful. Anyone has got a fix or a workaround?  Deeply appreciate it.

Have Strava activities upload to garmin connect!

Salut à toutes et tous, Depuis une dizaine de jours, il m’est impossible de créer un segment d’une activité de cyclisme sur Strava.En effet, sur le site PC, au moment de “créer” le segment, après avoir choisi son tracé, le segment ne se crée pas et ce message apparaît : Strava is temporarily unavailable (capture d’écran ci-dessous) Merci de me dire si également le cas pour vous ou pas ! Merci pour votre aide. 

My steps today with same route and steps are giving me 3000 plus only where in i expected 18k from 16k yesterday as i added extra walk and jogs. Hope can gave the accurate steps to this day. Thank you. 

How do I view the details of an e-bike segment when I just have it's name?I used the 'Don't see the segment you're looking for' feature to show me other segments in the area of my E-Bike ride - this gives me the name of a segment that I want to look at. But there seems to be no way of actually seeing the segment details.The segment I'm interested in doesn't ever appear on the segments map - maybe because it's not well used? Even if I had the segment ID number I could look it up that way - but I can't get any info about it apart from the name. Any ideas?

I used 'Draw your own route' with iPhone app and was able to finish it. Once I saved it it is no longer there. Now when I click on Maps -> Routes to check routes for my city, I see only 3 old ones. I don't see the ones I created. On the other hand, once I logged in your website, I am able to see all routes I created.

Just want to check if anyone know how long it takes for strava to reply to a support ticket? its been 2 days now and not sure if my ticket is still open and if i followed the right steps. 

I live in a household that owns six tandem bikes. We ride them regularly in the summers. The problem is that if we log our activities on Strava it skews the leaderboards for everyone else. Can we pick up all of the KOM/QOM’s on our ride? Absolutely, but that’s because there are two of us pedaling. Tandem cycling needs to be a separate sport from regular riding in order to properly log those activities and not mess up everyone else’s cycling leaderboards.

Winter fat biking has been growing in popularity for years. There are fat bike specific events and races occurring in different states. There should be a separate sport for winter fat biking, or even just for winter biking. 

I did an indoor workout (no GPS data)  but accidentally left the watch running after for 22 hours.  I want to crop it.  But the “Crop” option does not appear when I click the “...” menu.  How do I crop this?  Did they move the crop options?

No issues with the app other than the Who To Follow feature. Please add an option to hide this. I am not interested in this at all and nor is anyone else I know who uses Strava. Did Strava copy this from Facebook as I dislike it on there too! 

Hola, soy propietario de un club/grupo en strava, y quiero cederlo a otra persona. ¿Qué tengo que hacer?. Gracias. (English translation: Hi, I own a club/group on Strava, and I want to transfer it to someone else. What should I do? Thank you.)

Especially when I revisit an area after some time and try to regain some orientation by viewing my heatmap, I´d absolutely love if there would be an option “show list of activities in that area” where you could directly access the activities shown in that certain activity cluster on your map.

Only Garmin's Overlanding data is not uploaded to Strava, but other types of activities are uploaded properly. What is the problem? Is there a solution?

Why does Strava persist in recording a 100 yd interval as a 75yd + 25yd swim in a pool with lengths measuring 25 yards? 

For some reason, calories are hidden from commute activities and replaced with co2 emmissions. Having that is fine, but calories shouldn’t be removed. At least put it into the the expanded stats. They seem to show on the website but not the app.

Looking at my power curve this evening I noticed that my “All of 2024” line exceeded the Custom Date Range line I had set for all of my cycling years (side note, I’d really like an “All Time” option in the dropdown menu so I don’t have to create custom date ranges every time I want to see my all time bests).  This was telling me that in 2024 I actually exceeded my all time best power for certain time durations. At face value this makes no sense, as any efforts in 2024 should have counted towards my all time bests.  I was viewing the chart in Watts.  When I toggled the curve to display in “Watts/KG, the lines converged, and I saw what (I think) was happening: due to weight gain over the years, my maximum w/kg for those specific time durations were set back in 2016, while my raw power over the same time durations was set in 2024.I do not accept that it is correct to only use the best w/kg efforts when building the power curve and then have the toggle button simp

I’m having trouble with starting an activity. As you see in the pictures 

I'd like to download a large area onto my phone with my heatmaps so I can access this from the trail when I have no service.  I can do this on Trailforks but it does not show my "private" routes. Is there a way to download the  Strava map locally to my phone and still have access to trails/routes that I recorded when I open the app and not "in service"?  Again, the trails that I want to access on the map would be private not public.Thanks in advance 

Come faccio a tracciare un percorso a tavolino? TRANSLATION: How do I draw a route on a table?

Bonjour Est-ce que l'on peut faire apparaître les cols routiers et muletiers sur strava comme on peut les trouver sur openrunner?Merci Philippe TRANSLATION:HelloCan we make the road and mule passes appear on strava as we can find them on openrunner?ThanksPhilippe

When printing a saved route not all the written directions are shown as the printout is limited to one page. This can only be corrected by reducing the scaling, which results in a tiny map and elevation profile, particularly a problem for long cycle rides. It would be preferable if the directions were formatted to spill over onto multiple pages if required. I’ve tested with Chrome, Safari, Firefox on Mac - all behave in. a similar manner.

Some of the people I follow do a lot a commute rides which are quite frankly boring and just fill up my feed.  I am really only interested in their ride when it is more unusual. If I could set a simple milage filter on those people so that I would only see their rides when they exceeded a certain mileage that would increase my enjoyment of Strava.  I would also like it if I could filter on activity types so that I am not fed stuff like riding their training bike in the  garage or knowing about every time they went swimming.  It is all noise to me. Thank you

I have an E-bike and a regular mountain bike and I would love to be able to compare performance on routes that I regularly ride, particularly down hills.  Why are the the segments different for E bikes and regular bikes?  It makes no sense. I’m not asking for the times to be lumped together in leader boards etc. they should still be accounted for separately.

Hey Strava Team!I just got an email from you about staying motivated by finding and challenging segments, and it got me thinking...How cool would it be to have a feature that shows segments where you're on the verge of breaking into the Top 10 or even snagging the KOM/QOM?Imagine planning your next ride or run knowing exactly which segments you're this close to conquering—it would get people out there hunting for PRs like never before!Feel free to contact me for details :)
