Hello!I've been thinking for a few days about how amazing it would be to have a very useful feature that, as far as I know, is not yet available. For example, when cycling, it would be great to mark "milestones" like "chain replacement," "tire change," or "bike fitting," and then be able to search based on the dates those events happened.This would be really helpful for keeping track of bike maintenance, seeing which activities were performed after specific changes, and analyzing improvements, habit changes, or even the disappearance of body pains, etc.It could also be useful for runners, for tracking shoe replacements, injuries, and similar events.That's all! Just wanted to thank you for the great app you're creating.Best regards,Jordi

I have an unconnected,  basic exercise bike which works great and don't want to buy another piece of equipment just for tracking purposes.  I record my workouts in Samsung Health and they import to Strava. I'd like to be able to edit the workouts to add mileage and resistance. Thanks!

 Feature: Dynamic Histograms for Yearly ComparisonAllow users to compare their training load month-to-month across different years using interactive histograms.Each bar represents a month, with different colors or layers indicating specific metrics (e.g., distance, duration, calories burned).Users can switch between metrics like Workouts, Distance, Duration, Calories for each year to compare performance in a specific month.Enhanced Drill-Down View:Include the ability to click on individual months to dive deeper into detailed statistics. For example:Workouts completedAverage pace, elevation gain, heart rate zonesTop workouts of that monthDisplay year-to-year progression, showing the change in individual values over time, helping users understand how their training volume and load evolved.

I really like the idea of not only having badges or recognition for riding performance but also for the locations a rider has completed a ride in.  Perhaps broken down into:1) Number of cities ridden in2) Number of countries, states, provinces, territories, and continents ridden in3) Riding through areas of interest (mountain ranges, deserts, famous climbs, famous highways, etc...)I love the idea of having ridden in 'x' amount of countries, or cities, or areas of geographical note.   

It would be great to group my created routes e.g. by country, so that I don't have to go through all of them to find a particular group. For example, if I'm travelling in France, I'd like to only see my France routes, and the same if I'm in Spain.If there’s a feature to allow you to group your routes, or place them in folders with a title, it would be great to also be able to group by things like long run, or tempo run, as they will be different routes depending on distance.There could be an auto-feature which may suggest groups e.g. distance, location, type of run, features such as hills, road, track, trek, or scenery such as coastal, mountain, park etc, or even races such as marathons or other.  But also a manual option where you can give the route a label and it is grouped our put in to a folder by that label accordingly.

You can now set default shoes and bikes for different foot and cycle activities!  For bikes this applies to: Ride, E-bike Ride, Virtual Ride, Handcycle, Velomobile Ride, MTB Ride, Gravel Ride and E-MTB Ride activities. And for shoes it works for: Run, Hike, Walk, Virtual Run and Trail Run activities.Thank you to @CreakyCrank for posting this idea and for the 139 votes received from our community. We hope you enjoy this update. How much gear do you have?

Huawei health is recording my running cadence, but it is not transferred to Strava. Is there any parameter to fix this problem? Is it a Huawei or Strava problem?

I can open the HUB from the email, but I see no links at all IN STRAVA to go to the hub.  Am I missing something?

cycling workouts not importing automatically, have to log out and then back in and import manually

For those of you who record your activities on the Strava app, you can now stream your music right from the Record screen. So don’t be shy – drop those playlists below, and learn more about Strava x Spotify here.

I play hockey with my Garmin watch, using Sport 73, Subsport 91 (Ice Hockey). When the activity automatically transfers to Strava, it’s tagged as a workout, rather than ice skating. 

Would bei nice to have a Button/Feature, that lets you set a number of km, after which you are remembered to wax your chain. And also to set it back after you changed the Chain.What do you think about that?

Ok, I understood that killing FatMap the best way to get money from subscribers.But why this great tool so bat implemented to strava? Did you see how it looks? Why all the hills pretended to be a peak? Do you really think that mountains should be so tall.  Can you please return the display of the mountains as it was done in FatMap? 

I would love to see the fastest riders on a segment for every year on separate lists. Maybe even monthly on popular climbs. More athlete filtering options would also be welcome, like no pro riders, sorting by watt etc.

It would be beneficial if the Strava widget on iOS (and Android?) offered more flexibility in displaying activity statistics. Currently, I can only select one specific sport (running, swimming, or cycling) to view weekly progress. However, it would be quite beneficial for me to have an option to view stats for "All Activities" on a weekly or monthly basis, providing a more comprehensive view of overall activity progress.Requested Features:All Activities Summary: Option to display combined stats for all activities, rather than being restricted to one sport. Weekly and Monthly Views: Ability to toggle between weekly and monthly stats to track cumulative progress over these periods. Customisable Data Points: Option to select specific data points like distance, active time, or elevation gain across all activities.Benefits:

Please add either “Snow Ride” or “Winter Ride” or “Fat Bike Ride” to Sport → Ride selection. Strava doesn’t need to try and figure our segments etc but it would be nice to segregate all winter rides differently from other seasons in the same trails. Thanks

Those of us over 50 who have been using Strava for years will likely never be able to exceed the Personal bests we had 10 years ago.  Your App would benefit by comparing/ranking current segments within the last 365 days for the individual user and providing ribbons/awards for Personal Bests for 2024....  I want to be able to answer the question, "How am I personally doing on this segment compared to myself over the course of this year?"  The current system inevitably disapoints the aging rider by constantly reminding them that they are "no longer what they used to be."  It would be nice to see my personal improvements over the course of the cycling season.

New this morning, I’ve been getting notifications for users who I do not have favorited. This is a really obnoxious use of notifications with no clear way to turn it off without turning off notifications for favorited users. This appeared to start this morning. Also, why was my last thread about this deleted?

How much Time Strava does respond to a subscription refund because if they dont refund within 14 days i cant get m'y money back anymore.I also made refund requests without any answer.What's the solution to this ?

Add horseback riding as an activity!

OK. I do a hike and I track it with Strava.Strava says the finished track is 5.96 miles.I export the gpx file, then import that gpx into OS maps. (Ordnance Survey)OS says the route is 4.77 miles.Does anyone know why?

Is there a current issue with the Strava app (iOS)? I have been getting an error message all day since about 10am. I kept getting a “something went wrong. please try again” in the morning so I logged out and now I can’t log back in the app. I know username and pwd are correct since I can login fine on a browser. I deleted the app and tried again. Still not workingI tried the authentication using google as suggested but I get the same error message. 

Hi! I recently completed a run with Strada recording the miles on my Apple `Watch. I completed the activity, however, it is not showing on the app- it just seems to have disappeared. Is there anyway to get the activity to show on my phone?    

Hi folks,I just finished a ride and got 2 KOMs, but upon checking on Strava it looks like they are not counting toward the segment leaderboards. I checked privacy settings, it’s not flagged, nor is the map hidden. Does anyone know why this happened and how to remedy?https://www.strava.com/activities/12875732616Thanks!

Can someone from Strava please help me understand as a paid user why I can't share links? Or when this feature might be available again? I can't share links for tracking while doing ultra cycling races. Nor can I share videos I've put together after for others to watch from these efforts. This is really tempting for me to cancel my membership with Strava because the platform continues to ignore this. Or the ability to link a route that wasn't created on Strava? This is so simple but you've got extreme to disable this feature.
