Hi, I recently changed to a Giant Dash M200 GPS unit for my Embt, and all was well for the first ride. Data uploaded to the Stages cycling app and came across to Strava. However, subsequent rides have produced incorrect data uploads to Strava. All good on the M200 and in the Stages app, but upload to Strava from Stages and my data is skewed beyond belief. Distance and map are OK, but speeds and time are out of this world, e.g. max speed today was 443Km/hr and my 40km ride only took 5 minutes! I know I'm on an Embt but that's crazy. Anybody experiencing the same thing or got any ideas on how to correct this?

Is there any way Strava can prevent double posting.  People have so many options for updates to their rides.  Phones, watches, GPS devices.    People use two or more on one ride and get double or triple the correct distance.  Also is unfair for Local Legend segments. 

I see multiple posts about the same but no fix. In strava you click samsung, it tells you how to add strava in samsung app which works but you never see the app in apps section settings in strava  

When I am on my phone (android) I would like to change the types of activities it uses. For example it shows walking as well as cycling, which is annoying, because I am on a bike and as a result sometimes end up in places that are only for walking. Can I change this in the mobile app, like I can on the website? I can do it for my personal heatmaps, but not for the global one...

Today I havent been able to access Strava on my Iphone 12.  Get the message "Something went went wrong - try again"  I deleted the app and reionstaled but no difference.  Anyone else having this issue? 

Hello!I don´t know why my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is not showing steps in my hiking sessions. All the other data are ok, map, heart rate, kms, elevation, etc. even when I wal in a flat terrain it doesn´t show any steps. Do you know why? Best regards

 Hey everyone, I've been using strava for a while and love the system. However for a while I've noticed top x% on the leaderboard.Is this just a heading saying that if you rank high enough this is where the leader board shows the number and who's on top, or is this something else?I've googled it in many ways to find out what this means but can't seem to find anything on it. Does anyone know what top x% means?Thanks

I've created a group challenge, but some people are unable to join without signing up for a free trial. The challenge currently has 9 members, so the participant limit isn’t the issue, and some of the new members haven't used up their 2 free group challenge slots.Could someone help explain why this is happening and how I can resolve it?

I often ride at bike parks where there might be 5 or 6 trails all starting at the same point and ending at the same point but they are distinct trails and yet Strava cannot determine which one I was on. On the map it shows the trails (i.e. Strava maps is aware that there are multiple trails in this location and even shows the names of the trails) and my GPS track lines up almost perfectly with the trail and yet Strava still thinks I did the trail beside it which does not line up with my GPS track at all, except for the start and end points. Why does Strava only look at the start and end points of a trail instead of matching the mid points as well?The trail network that I am talking about is called Sticky Forest in Wanaka, New Zealand. There are lots of trails that all start in similar locations and then all end in the same spot. The trails are all on Strava maps and when I ride them, my tracks line up with the trails on the maps, plus or minus a metre or two here and there, b

Hello.  I have been using Strava for over two years already and I find it to be a great community and tool to meet athletes and to improve sport performance. I do have one comment though. it seems like when you are going through the activities and you are trying to get kudos, the activity distance and metrics are on top of the picture, but scrolling down to give kudos actually makes it difficult to see the metrics. I believe it could be better if Kudos and metrics are on the same line below the activity picture or map. It would help realize the progress and give kudos for actual progress. for instance: when I scroll on my phone to give kudos I miss the info of the activity.  I put myself as an example. Regards William

Is there a way to sync a run tracked via the Android Strava app so it shows up in Garmin Connect?  I've only found a way to sync activities from Garmin Connect to Strava.

Does anyone have an idea on how long it takes Strava to come back when you raise a ticket on customer support? I issued one over 5days ago and not had any response.Thank-you

I have had an active Strava subscription for years. A few days ago, I changed my password. Now when I log in (using the s  as me email address), it shows me as being on a 30-day free trial, does not have my followers/following, etc. I can’t figure out how to get into my actual account. I’ve tried resetting the password again, deleting then re-downloading the mobile app, using the Strava website instead of the app, and nothing works. How can I regain access to my account? Thank you.

I also (as part of my active recovery) log any lawn bowls games I play, however the shoe 'brand' isn't listed.Rather than choosing 'Unbranded' Could an 'Other' be added that just uses the Nickname Value when specified as the active shoe used for an activity.If not, could the following be added as selectable items – first one is the one I want to use, but should other bowlers want to do the same I've included other key brands.HenseliteDrakes PrideTaylorAero

Hello,before the latest "update" in the android app, there was a posibility to generate a random route based on length, surface, elevation beginning at your current location.Now you get routes chosen from public availlable routes made by strava users.I used the "old" way very often to discover new routes, but now this is no longer possible.Why was this changed? Can an option be provided to choose whether you want to use the routes publicly available from other users or let strava generate one for you ?very disapointed in the new routes "generation" in maps at the moment, the old one was much beter regards,Bart

I run a weekly cycling club that currently gets somewhere in the ballpark of 30-60 attendees during the summer. We are at the point where word of mouth is more than enough to get folks in for the rides, and now we just want to be sure that people know our ride expectations before showing up. Right now, I have our Club on Strava set to private and mention that folks will be added after their first ride and redirect them to our IG or email if they would like to join us. With that, I'm able to ensure that people know safety information, etiquette and our average speed before they just show up to our meeting spot. With that said, people don't seem to read the description and I'm getting a *lot* of join requests from randoms throughout the week. It makes it hard to distinguish from the real people we've vetted. Is there anything in addition to keeping the group set to private that I can do to ensure we're hidden from global search? 

Never had any problems in the past, but today my Strava activity didnt sync with The Conqueror app. Anyone else having the same problem? True i havent gone on a run in two months but that shouldnt be a problem &#x1f605  thanks!

Google Fit integration does not work at all for me 😞 I tried every fixes and workarounds what I found in community posts and help and other articles.    

More of an annoyance than anything. Uploaded the same activity form my Edge and Watch. Deleted one, but the one I kept shows a “2nd Fastest” time on segments where it is actually my PR (it had picked the other activity as the “PR”). Does it correct at any point? 

Strava should consider adding annual/official races per country so it's easier for runners visiting those countries to participate. Most Athletics associations globally have a full year calendar of all official races and their entry details.

Hello! My last 2 runs have no data apart from the time. I've turned location services off and on, deleted the app and reinstalled and turned the device off and on a couple of times (after reading about a similar issue in this forum), but nothing seems to help... I also waited until my device (iphone) had connected to 4G instead of home WIFI before starting the recording, but it made no difference.  Any ideas on how to fix this? 🤔 🤔  

This week kicks off the biggest event on the women's cycling calendar; the third edition of the Tour De France Femmes avec Zwift. Beginning on Aug. 12 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the racers will head through Belgium, and finish up in France on Aug. 18. This year we’ll see 154 riders on 22 teams each trying to get one of the four jerseys that are awarded. Not sure what the jerseys represent? We got you covered:->The coveted yellow jersey goes to the overall winner ->Green jersey is awarded to the leader of the Points Classification ->Polka dot jersey goes to the leader of the Mountains Classification->White jersey is awarded to the General Classification leader who is 23 years old or younger  What to learn more? Here’s some fun facts about this year’s race:

Hi I have an issue, I’m using app RocketJourney and I need to add my trainings with Strava, but when I trie to link Strava I want to do by my google account (as I sign in in Strava) but there is a warning “Blocked access, error 493: disallowed _ useragent”

I ran 18 miles yesterday and the Strava app didn't add anything to my fitness tracker or relative effort. It usually always adds four or five points after a long run. As far as I know, it is the first time this has ever happened. Has this happened to anyone else?
