hi Scout, I can't do a post in my own club either. BTW, I noticed that there was an error with the number 503 in the app once I wanted to make a post. I've tried the advice you provided above, but still can not make a post in the club I created, neither in the app nor the website. What should I do? Please.

Route creator is not working. Freezes. First time I've had this problem. Is there a bigger problem? 

I make fairly intensive use of the Strava map function to plan cycling routes, and while many aspects are great (crowdsourcing popular routes especially) I have a growing list of things I think could make route planning better. I’d be interested in hearing other people’s views…and am hoping Strava can do something with the thoughts below. Including major road names/numbers as standard on the Strava map would be a good addition, especially when route planning in an unfamiliar area. It helps to know you’re not inadvertently planning a route down the local bypass.it would also be really helpful if the Strava map you use for route planning showed your favourited segments on it. Case in point, from time to time I try to get real about tackling some proper (uk) hills. The top 100 climbs app lets you access all of these as segments in Strava, but trying to plan a route involving one or more of these still involves yo

I am pretty sure this is a mistake.  I've done almost every cycling challenge since 2015, and I've never seen an official monthly challenge start at any other date than the first of the month.

The Fitness and Freshness chart has a scale on the left that starts at zero. But if your Fatigue is higher than your Fitness, your Form can go negative. When you view the Form line, it puts the lowest value at zero, even if it's negative. This makes your Form chart line sit higher than it should be. Hovering over the chart shows the correct values

Whenever I do an activity like HIIT or Weight Lifting the timer keeps resetting to zero during it and then restarting.  This doesn’t happen for running or walking.  Any ideas please?

I think I have a problem with one segment where I tried hard today to hit my PR and I did it. The sträva live segment on my wahoo Elemnt shows I did it 16:07 minutes but when I did upload the activity on Strava, it show 19:22 minutes. I already tried "Refresh my result" and "Refresh activity achievements" and they don't seem to work. As you can see from the 1st and 2nd picture, the rest of segments are matched from my bike computer and strava activity. I don't know if there's anybody are experiencing this issue or has any solution. Cheers!  

I'm familiar with the concept of flagging Activities and I've flagged a few where people have clearly used a car or motor-bike on a "bike ride" (45 mph up a long hill is a good clue).  I've recently seen a couple of Activities where a bike rider has been in an accident and been taken to hospital in an ambulance and on the way they have collected a couple of bike KOMs.  I have sympathy for the riders involved (judging by comments they were not seriously hurt) but it doesn't seem quite right that Segment leader-boards have become corrupted by their misfortunes.  It doesn't seem appropriate to disqualify their whole Activity (I think one was in the last mile of a 100-mile sportive) so it would be good to have a way to flag specific Segment efforts. I realise the Strava auto-flagging mechanism can now exclude specific "infeasible" Segment efforts and I think it would be useful if this could also be done manually.  Is there already a way to do this ?

Hi I am still having issues with rides not uploading/syncing from my garmin edge and apple watch .In the garmin connect connect app the ride is there , recorded..but its not uploading to starva.I also recorded the same ride on apple watch but this also will not upload. HELP!! 

One of the things i loved about strava, and why i started paying for subscription, was the heatmaps. They changed them a while back and have not been as enjoyable. However, a recent change change has made them almost a waste of time. I ride a 60 mile ride at least once a month and, each month its in a different place. I would love to see these adding to my heatmap but, strava does this stupid color variant where the fewer times you ride the route, the harder it is to see. So... when I look at my heatmap, all of the amazing rides are barely visible. Strava should change the heatmap back to how it used to me. The heatmap is a map of routes weve ridden. If weve ridden the route.... we should be able to see it. At least you could make this an option. Many of us needing to use third party heatmaps to get the effect. 

I hate my Strava feed in winter times. It's cluttered with weird sports and all these Zwift/whatever-rides or commutes.I really don't want to see them. And after fall it's allmost all you see, and I dont look through my feed anymore.It is absolutely no biggie to implement and since I am paying for my account, I should be in control of what I have to see and what not.cheers and ride onNik

Since several weeks, it's impossible to share activities to instagram story.Can you help me ? 

I recently recorded a 5km run and it has not went up on strava. Usually when I record activities on my garmin watch it uploads straight away to strava, what do I have to do?

Yesterday did 5mi hike, recorded fine as far as could tell, looked OK at end of hike, saved.  Never appeared anywhere. Force restarted apps on watch and phone. Nothing.  Have had this happen a handful of times now.  Last time the recording appeared like a day later.  Saw some older support entry saying "if there are not enough data points blah blah" but this was 3hrs of data points.  Have used Apple Watch and iPhone w/ Strava EXTENSIVELY for years, this is a recent phenomenon.  FWIW the one thing I can think maybe is that cell signal has been super weak where I am when it has happened, like its really poor data connection when I was closing and saving the recording on the watch? Super frustrating tho.  

I saw in the status page at 11am US Eastern that "Uploads from Garmin are currently delayed" https://status.strava.com/ but that message went away. I have revoked and reconnected Garmin with Strava and vice versa, and attempted to upload test walk/runs to see if synching is working. It has not. 

I am using a Xiaomi 12t and a Xiaomi smartband 8. I can figure out how to connect my smartband 8 to Strava. The list of devices does not show Mi or Xiaomi and when I click more it brings up a help screen. Any help appreciated Thanks     

I would like to use and ride with my ebike the very same segments that are already made for ride. Probably in all of the cases (at least in my country) the segments are identical for both bike types.I think the "ebike" is same kind of variable such as gender, age and time in segments that you can sort, filter and look.  There's no need to do individual ebike segments. I've done several segment conversion from ride to ebike but in the end it doesn't make any sense.Of course the leaderboards shall be separated based on this biketype variable.

Hello I have a problem with synchronizing my data from the last run in the watch, I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch error title is sync failed42  

My March Swim Challenge disappeared.  It is not under Challenges.  How can I find it?

Welcome back to Wisdom Wednesday! Every other Wednesday we'll drop a question in the Community Hub. You then have 9 days (that's until the following Friday) to showcase your Strava knowledge and answer the question. Question: I can't log in and I believe my support ticket response is going to an email I don't have access to. What can I do? Remember to submit your answer in the comments by March 22nd.&

Hello, I am a somewhat new runner who would like some advice from any longtime runners. I am trying to find an affordable watch to use when logging my running. I have been using my phone but it is big and uncomfortable to wear on my arm so I am looking for a watch. I really just need it to log distance and time accurately. Anything else would be a bonus. I have found a few cheaper watches, but I have read reviews that say they do not log distances correctly. Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated.CoCo_Mend

Bonjour depuis 2 courses je n’ai plus l’allure moyenne sur le temps écoulé qui s’affiche , du coup ça me donne seulement mon allure moyenne et celle ci n’est pas géniale. Comment je pourrai remettre celle ci svp ? Merci  TRANSLATION: Good morning for 2 races I no longer have the average pace for the elapsed time that is displayed, so it only gives me my average pace and this is not great. How can I put this one back please? THANKS

I have enjoyed Strava a great deal which has led me to following many friends.  Its nice to see my friends activities but the result is sometimes my FEED becomes cluttered.  Does anyone know a way to filter ones FEED to only show your activities???Thanks, Brian

Hi. I am able to save routes posted via Facebook onto my mobile app & dashboard saved routes but unable to get them onto my laptop dashboard. Wahoo is only syncing saved routes on the mobile app. I have taken off & reinstalled Strava app but no success
