Pilates exists as an activity type, but not in the "Sport" dropdown on My Activities, so I can't go back and find entries that I've made for pilates activities.(by the way, the instructions here on how to file a bug report are conflicting and very confusing.) 

When uploading indoor activity data like running (indoor) or biking (indoor) to Strava, we can add detailed speed data to the FIT file (in the Record section), but it is ignored. It is also visible on the site https://developers.strava.com/docs/uploads/ that speed data isn't processed by Strava for activity uploads. Detailed distance data can be added, but speed data is not derived from the distance values either.I understand that Strava doesn't need detailed speed data for activities with GPS data, but for indoor activities, our app users would like to see their speed in Strava. Wouldn't it be nice to add the interpretation of speed data for non-GPS activities, or derive the speed from the detailed distance data?

A recent iOS app update seems to have made it harder to manage my downloaded route maps.Previously in Maps > Saved > Saved Routes, I could see which routes were downloaded via a small icon against each listed route. You could also download them from the listing view by tapping that icon.Now though, I have to tap to view  an individual route to be able to see if it is downloaded.As I have a lot of Saved Routes this makes it very difficult to manage those I want downloaded whereas before it was relatively easy.Two solutions I can see for this:1. Restore the downloaded icon on the listing view2. In Maps > Saved add a new item “Downloaded Routes” that lists only the routes that you have downloaded to your device.Idea 2 would be really handy as when you are out and about to start a hike or ride, if you have a lot of Saved Routes it can take a while to find the one you are about to start. Whereas in a shorter list of Dowloaded

I started riding bikes back in 2017, I'm autistic and find it to be very soothing, as a hobby. After my husband started riding, in turned into a bit of a competition,  not much between us, but it was fun. It was like I had my own personal trainer. Last year I really kicked it into gear after purchasing my 2019 trek domane sl6. I love it. This year started out great. Riding in May. I never paid much attention to any of the strata leaderboards, but the other day, I realized I was number 2 on a segment. Normally I dont pay attention because I ride for myself, but I decided the next day when I go out, I would concentrate on that section and give it my all. My husband was right in front of me. I could not believe it. When I finished my ride  and checked my results, I had beat the leader by 2 seconds and I was the new Queen of the Mountain. Wow. I couldn't believe it. All my hard work over the years paid off. Fast forward a day and I see my ride was flagged by someone. I don't u

Still pushing on at 80 years! Wow I keep telling my legs…. your doing me proud and still hanging on to some of my KOM’s

Hi all, is there an external tool that I can use to revise a GPS track and re-import it back to Strava? For some reason my GPS watch lost signal for a few miles on a run. So it shows a straight-line on the map, and the mileage is messed up. I was following a well established trail and the track was correctly recorded on my return trip. So the location data is available. Of course I won't be able to recover the lap times but that's fine. Thanks in advance.

Using iPhone 8+ . Starting a bike ride I see my heart rate and all the details I want. After a bit the screen changes to a map! I can’t find where I go where I can leave the HR live and keep tracking all the details live! My phone is not doing it because I stopped it from timing out, but the app??? Help

Hiya! my polar flow and Strava seem to be connected (through partners in polar) but data is not syncing and device does not appear in Strava  any suggestions on how to resolve this?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps without success

I'm not getting heart rate data into Strava and I can't figure out why / how. I've done 2 rides now, starting once in Samsung health and once in Strava. Health always records my heart rate as I ride, but the data isn't getting to Strava app. If I start my ride in strava app, I get no heart rate data at all. Everything seems logged in / sync'd, etc correctly. Any ideas?

New to the forum, apologies if this has been asked and addressed already. As a cyclist there are lots of segments around and they're a great goal to aim for. However with cycling would it be possible for segments to be separated, so those on MTB, Gravel and road bikes would have their own respective leader boards and KOMs/QOMs?

Here is bug in Strava that I find mildly annoying and hope that Strava can fix it. I often take pictures during my trail runs. Just before uploading pictures to Strava I often do a quick touch-up that includes improving contrast, doing a color correction, applying a filter, etc. As a result, in Strava all those photos end up showing a wrong time - not when I took those photos but when I edited them. The correct approach would be to take the time from EXIF data if it is available. Strava already reads EXIF data to get the GPS coordinates of locations where the pictures were taken, so perhaps it should do the same for the timestamps.

Dear StravaPlease make it possible to see speed, duration etc. at the same time as the map. You've already designed it, it's the pause screen.Thanks for an otherwise great app CheersRasmus

For some reason the View Flyby link on my actvities page has not been displayed for the past couple weeks. It had been working fine previously. Even when I set ALL my privacy settings to "Everyone" including the Flybys privacy setting, it's not showing up. Running through Chrome browser, Windows OS, desktop... blah, blah, blah.Any Clues?

You can now see all the segments where you've finished in the top 10 on the leaderboard! How to Access: Mobile: Profile -> Segments -> Top 10s (alongside your Starred, KOMs/QOMs/CRs, and LCLs) Web: Profile -> KOMs/QOMs/CRs/Top 10s  

I am new to Strava and I came from using MapMyRide because the syncing with other apps stopped being supported. One of the things that strikes me as a huge feature miss on Strava is the inability to get progress updates/announcements while on your ride. At every mile, MapMyRide audibly told me my total distance, split speed and average miles per hour. Why isn't this available on Strava? I have to detach my phone from the mount and unlock the screen to check my progress and splits. Annoying and unsafe while riding

Hi! I am quite tired of flagging men on the leaderboard who register their gender as woman and get cups and QoMs... it would be great if:- there is an additional flag option indicating "wrong gender type".- when you register with a common male name but indicate that your gender is female, you get a pop-up reminder of the rules of fair play.Thanks!Carlota

I am riding Velomobile and still would like to enjoy participating in the Strava cycling challenges. Handbike is included, why not including velomobile?

Hi all, I joined Strava in the past year and enjoying it so far. It's great to see inline skating on the list, though the way it calculates calories burned seems a bit of a under estimate.  That aside. I've been trying to best my PR on a local climb and I noticed the top times seem to either be counted by those going down hill or if they're going up it certainly isn't without using a EV bike.  Is there a way to tag the direction of person and separate them into their own category if they're defending vs ascending.  Also allowing users to potentially flag if they suspect the leader on the board is using a EV bike? Excited to join the community -Andy

When creating long routes 300+ km not all segments are shown. I understand the reason for this due to the huge amount of segments. But would be great if the stared segments are prioritized. Otherwise they will not be loaded as part of the route to my Garmin 1040. Is there a way to fix this?
