Are there boards on Strava to post if anyone is interested in renting out an enduro e-bike? I have 2, (medium frames) YTs available. Perhaps you've wanted to try one out before purchase of are traveling and want to get a ride in. 

A little while ago Strava added the classification of "CR" for bike leaderboards (and presumably for other Activity types) in addition to KOM and QOM.  So we have CR for the fastest ever performance, KOM for fastest male and QOM for fastest female.  When I am displaced from a leaderboard I usually get a message of the form "...You just lost your KOM on Strava Segment by x seconds".  Yesterday's message was "...You just lost your CR on Strava Segment by 2 seconds" and when I look at the Segment it shows another person has the CR and I still have the KOM (2 seconds slower) - this is fine and would simply mean the other person hasn't declared themselves to be male.  However, if I filter the leaderboard to show men only it shows the other person first and I am second.How can someone be top of the "men only" leaderboard but an inferior performance (mine) has the KOM ?Did I misunderstand something or do I need to raise a ticket with the support team ?

I have athletes showing up in my feed that I did not ask to follow and I do not know. This started about 3 days ago. I did not make any changes to my settings and am unfollowing each one as I see them, but is this a bug? Was there an update I missed?

Hi there - I was able to publish posts but having tried today after putting in my content the 'publish post' button isn't live which is really odd. Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Shona

That was a nail biter of a game between England and Germany yesterday, so exciting to watch!  Kudos to England for winning it!  I'm sure big parties continue today.   I did feel sorry for the German side - the look of disappointment, but somebody has to win, and England have waited so long.Watching the match got me wondering, how many people track Football (soccer) on Strava?  I know I do... and, I've tried it 2 waysRecord as a run: I do this because I like to know how far I've run at the end, but it creates a 'mess' of a map, and also skews my running totalsRecord as cardio: gives me a better 'relative effort' score, but doesn't track the distance.Anybody else record activities like this?  What methods do you do?  Maybe this is something I should put in as a feature request?

I'm participating in a group challenge setup through my company, but have a query regarding what constitutes the challenge being complete, e.g.Rowing target :1500km, challenge end date 12 SeptIn the above scenario, if the distance target is hit before the end date, does that 'close' the challenge from further user input, or will the challenge still accept entries until the challenge end date?If this is covered in a post somewhere, I apologise for the repeat question, but I've not been able to find anything definitive Thanks Tom

How do I change this to share my routes in Miles only?

*First, the following screenshots are in German, hope this won't be a big issue.*When I recevie Kudos or a close friend (marked as favorit) uploads a new activity I am notified by a push nofification on my mobile.When I tap on this message I am directed to the corresponding activity and I can check my Kudos or I can leave Kudos and/or comments on my friends activity. So far so good.But why does the bell (upper right) and the home icon (lower left) still show this number?Why do I have to navigate to the notification list and back again to get rid of the number even though I've already been taken to the activity in question via the push notification?Am I missing something or could a review of this workflow be possible?CheersUli

I live in NZ and will be in Brisbane/Gold Coast for a week. Do I have to do anything to my account so that my Fenix6X Pro and Strava will "talk" with each other! Or does it just stay the same?

Hello,updates for local lengend are not made automaticaly. by going to the segment page, the update is made, so it's better than at the start of the problem a few weeks ago.but the update is not made in one case : when nobody is local legend before i do the segment. for example : in this activity https://www.strava.com/activities/7659763885 i do the segment https://www.strava.com/segments/21560708 in the segment page, it's say nothing about local legend. same thing in https://www.strava.com/segments/21560708/local-legendsame probleme in this activity https://www.strava.com/activities/7649876080 for the s

after the update from august 9th the button '3 more suggestions' is removed from the routes creator on the mobile app.why did strava removed this?Now you only get 3 options to choose out of.please bring back this button or give the user more options/routes to choose of.

It's all in the title. I am specific but in general available activity types and flags should be reviewed. I am sure that it's an easy update 😉 😉

When I climb at the gym, strava records elevation gain up, and down, so I always leave with zero 0ft. Is there a setting I need to change to only record what I climbed up, and not what I roped or jumped down?

Good afternoon, It would be convenient to have a "maybe" option once a Ride or an event has been created. This would benefit the group community as it would signal who will be joining a ride and who might also be interested in joining.  I appreciate your consideration, Julien Dion

Currently an activity is shown as a uniform orange line on a map. I think it could be cool/useful to color this line on the map with a color that encodes the pace at which someone moved at each point of the activity. Eg blue = slower, orange = fasterthis would basically integrate the “pace analysis” of an activity into the map plot, and could also show some interesting correlations, like whether or not any faster/slower splits might be due to certain types of terrain.This idea could be extended into the global heat map, besides popularity it might be interesting to show relative pace differences of activities over all segments. This could be a good indicator of wether or not it’s a good place to run when building a route. If most people slows down over a certain stretch of road, odds are the terrain isn’t great there.

Is there any way to filter activities included in the global heatmap in Android app ? This would be useful as when I'm riding a bike I don't want to see ski trails.Also should the personal heat map be working in Andoroid app ? Currently it says that "Your heatmap isn't available yet. Your heatmap will generate automatically after you upload at least one GPS-based activity". I sure have upload a lot of GPS-based activities ...

I think it would be really cool to see my map with a feature to "turn on all runs" and see just how much of my area I have covered. It would encourage me to try new roads and get my town to "100% completion". Strava could even have challenges of "color in this town" or "team red vs team blue" to see who can color more in a day or a week. 

Me gustaría saber si tengo suscripción cuantas personas puedo agregar a un reto.

I achieved a gran fondo cycling on https://www.strava.com/activities/7628874558 but I do not appear to be recognised for it as completed this month with the GF badge..Is it because of privacy restrictions? Or? I can understand partner challenges not working for privacy restrictions, but for standard strava ones seems odd... 

I am glad the issue with 3D mapping was fixed rapidly, however, live tracking/mapping is still faulty: The 2D map has only one scale for tracking. If you pinch to zoom out the blue dot stops scrolling and the map has to be constantly repositioned. Pressing the crosshairs will centre and scroll, but immediately rescales to fully zoomed in, i.e. the map should scroll with the scale I've selected.

I downloaded Strava with one intention. To beat my brothers time to hike up Ben Nevis. I Paid the annual subscription and I drove to Scotland. My brother and I had walked up a few weeks before that and ranked 5th fastest without really pushing. So we decided to come back and try again, but this time we would walk our own walk and see who could go up fastest. I beat my brother and was sat waiting for him at the top for 3 minutes. Somehow, Strava did not record it. It clearly shows my route and the time, but doesn't match it up to other people. I followed the same path as my brother and I had walked last time. My brother followed the same path as me (only a few minutes behind) and he was recognised! I don't know why this has not worked but its very annoying. I am not walking up again to prove my point, its a 6 hour drive away. If I bought a smartwatch just for that walk and it didn't work, I could get a refund. This is a simple consumer rights issue. 

I would like to see the features of the heatmap get linked to activities so I can see when I rode specific roads (re: all the rides where I was on that particular road).  It would give me a different way to review the segments on particular roads.  In addition, just like you can see google street view images over time (you can select which date of a street view image you want to see), I would like to see Strava add a play button that would show you the growth of your heatmap over time.
