Did the developer think, when they released a feature, which allows to automatically hide the start- and end-point of a ride, that maybe, just MAYBE, that should NOT be applied to VIRTUAL rides?I can imagine, that someone does not want to bother setting up geo-zones of privacy, and they want to use the new feature (that is automatically enabled btw) for their IRL rides, that they do not want to have to edit each VIRTUAL ride? (especially in a clumsy way, where the start- and end-point have to be edited via separate sliders, instead of the UI providing a simple button, which disables hiding of anything, if people do not want to use the feature on that ride .. if it really "has to" be done manually for every VIRTUAL ride)Let's be honest - I do not care the slightest, if everyone knows, that I did a VIRTUAL ride in Spain, Chile, or Australia .. and I strongly doubt, that ANYONE does.

It would be helpful to be able to add two or three chains to a bike and have a way to rotate them. Example clicking on chain 2 would automatically pause chain 1 and vice versa. Chain rotation is becoming more common as more riders are starting to wax their chains!!  Noticed this has come up in the past but I don’t see a response by Strava or in the program!  What up?  If you’re going to charge as much as you are you need to support longevity in the program otherwise why should people continue to use the platform?  Help us out please! 

So the strava is unusable for me at this point, I use mi fitness to record my data and then when strava gets it it starts to show some bizarre stats like I made 12km on a 1km with 180 kmph speed 

Hi, Winter time is virtual time so I do my exercises indoor with Rouvy and Zwift. While Rouvy workout is measured in Kcal, Strava App shows also Kcal, the Web-Version is in kj. This is a Web-bug, or ? Kind regards, Martin 

Hi everyone!I have a question about importing activities from the SportsTracker app into Strava.I have a lot of workouts recorded in SportsTracker from the past years, but I’ve stopped using that app and would like to move all my activities to Strava.Does anyone know the best way to export or convert SportsTracker files and import them into Strava? Any tools, tips, or workflows you can recommend would be really appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi!I was analysing my own data and couldn't find the 'export data', like a table with dates, activities, distance, RAI, pace, time, zones, etc. I was wondering if this is already available to the user.Thanks!

I track everything with my Garmin watch and sync to Strava. When skiing (alpine skiing). Strava detects lifts and cuts them out so that the height profile becomes somehting like this (lifts take no time and do not count towards total distance): This is a fine feature which was requested here:  However, there is a bug in this logic. This is implemented in such a way by just removing all points where you are traveling upwards (sitting in a lift). This assumes that the lift only travels in a direct path, which is correct for majority of lifts. But larger gondola-lifts often have a middle-station and then continue the second part in a different direction than the first part. This confuses the Strava alg

Previously if you uploaded a photo to an activity, it would appear on the map at the correct location in a small box which was unobtrusive and you could still see your route map. Now it appears in a giant circle that looks ugly and completely obstructs the route map - if you’ve got more than 3 or 4 photos on a ride you basically can’t see the orange line at all (especially now you can’t make the map bigger any longer). Can we get this reverted to the original setting please?

Some time ago I linked the Stages cycling app to my Strava account.However, the relative effort numbers via Stages are off the scale! So, I want to remove the link.I cannot find out to do this! I’ve been through all the menus. Someone out there will know…. Thanks.

Hi, for some reasons just can’t sync it!The Xiaomi app detects Strava then when i try to connect, and approve authorizations, it goes to strava.com etc, and then it freezes… Please help.

I done a run and recorded it on my Strava App where I manually click start and finish run from my phone. I usually wear an apple watch series 3 which is synced to my strava but do not use the data. As the watch is quite old I don’t tend to use the data. I did not end my run on my apple watch which was running and only well after my run i ended this on my watch. This data from my apple watch then replaced my data from the strava app. Is there a way I can see my run which i recorded on the strava app rather then the imported from Apple watch? 

Please Strava, can we see segment leaderboards by year! I’d love to be able to remind myself how quick I used to be 🙏

Someone made a post three years ago about this and still nothing resembling this kind of feature is available! It seems natural to want to highlight a favorite activity for people to see on your profile. Also don’t imagine it’s incredibly difficult to implement? 

You can only choose between two distance challenges every month (ride). Thats to ride 200km or 800km in one month. It’s a big leap from 200 to 800km. Why cant they also make a challenge for something in between. 400km or 500km in one month.

I ride a lot of MTB, and I enjoy finding new tracks in my neighbourhood that I haven't used before.Could Strava not generate a feature where you can see the % of new track ridden that day both in numbers and on the map?Could also be applied to many other activities besides MTB..

I’ve tried legit everything but my garmin 3S still wont sync anything to Strava - disconnecting and reconnecting it. It shows my old apple watch is still there but says to accept conditions, but i no longer have access to it. Please help.  

Does anyone else find the pause button in a bad spot on iPhone?I am regularly accidentally pausing the app when trying to swipe up on iPhone. It is quite frustrating. 

I have a suggestion: when the heart rate is high the same notice that comes up to tell us to move can show up to suggest starting an activity.

I would like to report a possible UI inconsistency / bug in the Power Skills feature between Android and iOS apps.As you know, Power Skills allows switching between All-time records and Last 8 weeks (or a custom date range). The values shown outside the ring should reflect the selected time range.Observed behavior: Android app: The values outside the ring correctly update depending on the selected range (All-time vs Last 8 weeks / custom range). iOS app: The values outside the ring always show All-time records, regardless of whether “Last 8 weeks” or a custom range is selected. Only the ring visualization changes. This makes it difficult to interpret recent performance on iPhone, as the numerical values shown do not match the selected timeframe and can be misleading.Q

Hi there,I noticed that my weekly stats were not updated after Sunday’s activity. During the week on Zwift I rode 150 km in total and today (Sunday, Jan 18th) I rode another 100 km. However the stats look like this: The stats for the year showed below are correct. Exactly the same happened to me last week, where Sunday’s ride was not taken into account. Any idea whether I do something wrong or it’s a bug? What I can add, right after logging the activity I switched its visibility just to me to adjust the title and description, and right after that I switched it again to public.

Hi! I’ve recently started using a Coospo H8 heart rate monitor for my workouts and had no issues connecting or recording the data, so all looks good while I’m working out. When I save the activity however it doesn’t seem to retain the data and it’s as if I’ve not recorded anything; no average HR visible on the activity or anything like that. I was wondering whether anyone knew what the issue was, maybe I’m not doing something right?Thanks!

When a Privacy Zone is configured around a home location, the activity track is correctly hidden and the start and end points are moved outside of the defined zone.However, if an image is uploaded to the activity, the image is displayed on the map based on its embedded GPS metadata. If the photo was taken inside the Privacy Zone, the image marker remains visible at its original location.As a result, other users cannot see the activity track inside the Privacy Zone, but can still see the exact position of the image. This behavior can indirectly reveal the user’s home address or other sensitive locations.From a privacy perspective, image locations should respect Privacy Zones in the same way as activity tracks. Steps to Reproduce Create a Privacy Zone around a home address. Record an activity that starts or ends within the Privacy Zone. Take one or more photos inside the Privacy Zone.

Until recently, when I edited a route, I could click on the small blue dots representing public photos and they would display instantly. For several weeks now, I’ve been getting a loading icon that spins indefinitely, regardless of the quality of the internet connection.Has anyone else had the same issue and managed to resolve it?
