How does one get around false flags? I mean, I don’t mind a road ride on a gravel bike being flagged because I’ve beaten a shed load of KOMS but, I certainly didn’t so I can’t work out why it would remove me from any leaderboards. Any ideas? None of the speeds are unusual for my historical data either…. 

Hi Strava Support,I recently discovered the gear tracking feature and added my bike to my account. I set the gear's start date to a point in the past (when I actually started using it), but I noticed that Strava only begins counting kilometers from the date I added the gear — not from the backdated start date I selected.At the time I started using the bike, I wasn’t aware of the gear feature. It would be very helpful if Strava could retroactively assign past activities to gear based on the chosen start date.Is there a way to apply gear to past activities automatically based on that date, or is manual editing the only option?Thanks in advance!Best regards,Boštjan

I have the 51mm version of the Fenix 8 Solar Sapphire and have noticed an odd discrepancy in the device naming convention. Every activity I have seen from someone with the 47mm version of the F8 Solar Sapphire has their device type listed as “Garmin fenix 8 Solar Sapphire” while those with the 51mm of the same watch has their device type listed as “Garmin fenix 8 Solar” without the Sapphire showing in the name (despite it being a sapphire watch face.) Is there a reason for this discrepancy when they are otherwise the same watch? 

There are three items within our running/cycling group that have really been chafing us: I’m not sure how to completely describe this but I’ll give it a go - across the top of the map, a “layer” of buttons was added whereby you can “Upload GPX”, “Reverse Route”, Redo/Undo, Trash, Display Heatmaps, and Display segments, etc. A large number of the phantom “distance jumps”  -and- “Red Box - Sorry We Couldn’t complete...” errors are due to this layer interfering with dropping a waypoint.  Any time a waypoint is added on the top 15-20% of the map, it registers a waypoint was added but fails to formally assign it to a location as this “layer” seems to interfere.  As the mouse moves, the waypoint sticks to the cursor and causes all kinds of havoc because it can’t actually place the waypoint.  If you are re-routing, this same issue causes a secondary problem because it will also plot the “finish flag” in the same location once it fina

I have seen several people raise concerns about integrity of Segment leaderboards, mostly due to the wrong Activity type (using an E-bike on a "ride" or a bike on a "run") or leaving Strava running at the end of an Activity and hence recording a subsequent car journey. For what it's worth, here's my approach to trying to help maintain Segment integrity in my area.  In the last 5 years I have attempted about 6200 bike Segments, all within a few miles of where I live.  I use the excellent VeloViewer companion for Strava which allows me to get lists of all my Activities and Segment efforts.  It allows me to export data to a spreadsheet and so I can have a spreadsheet of all the Segments I have attempted, complete with my leaderboard position, best time, KOM time, etc.  Generally the Segment data is very good with very few suspect KOMs.  Roughly once per week I download the data to a spreadsheet and do a comparison with equivalent data from the week befor

It would be cool to see your cumulative distance in km/mi for each year totaled with all the sports. 

Several watersports are already listed (sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, etc.) and I would like to add wingfoiling but (for an somewhat obscure reason) there is no obvious way to add or even suggest such addition.

When navigating to any segment and comparing results while moving location, HR is not changing. Pace and speed are working fine.https://drive.google.com/file/d/13IEQPpsCj6fvdYr59OCbF_UsblIKnPkt/preview

Some of my segment times are incorrect.  When I look at “comparisons” against earlier times for a given segment, there is a point on the segment that Strava randomly adds 20 minutes or so to my current time, as if I stopped and waited for 20 minutes, even though I did not stop at that point.   For example, I rode in Dupont yesterday and on Wilke Trail the replay of the route on the computer shows my position roughly equal to my earlier time through most of the segment, then at a few hundred yards from the end, my current ride time jumps up 20 minutes, leaving me 20 minutes slower than the PR ride, even though it was almost identical.  I have had this happen probably 6 times.  

Hello! So, this is similar to other inquiries. I just can't calm my mind because i am a student and the annual subscription is a huge amount for me.Last June 18 i tried to get me a free trial to strava app, i processed everything thru strava app. Then after a few hours, i cancelled it (also thru strava app bc i thought it would be cancelled to where i also subscribed). Then just this July 18, 1680php was deducted to my gcash account. I just found out that i needed to cancel it thru google play.I then cancelled it thru google play and submitted an appeal. It was denied, saying it does not align with their policy. So i contacted strava support. Submitted a ticket, they replied and asked me to give them necessary details. I finished doing that then also emailed their zendesk account. I already did everything you guys are saying to get support. I just now want to know if i should just sit and wait or try and try strava to notice my report. I already followed up yesterday.

 After running daily for 3-4 weeks, I learned a lot about running, which I actually forgot because I was running a lot in elementary school. Here are the points I re-learned. 1. Weather. This is a surprisingly good thing I learned. The weather is the most important factor in running. If it is too hot, with the sun shining, it adds extra pressure. And when you don't have a cap or anything to cover your head in this heat, the pressure doubles. On the other hand, days with clouds and wind can help you a lot when running, as you feel grateful.2. Track. The place where you are running is kind of crucial. Since I happen to live just two steps away from the running track in the local park, it makes running easier and more convenient to reach. So I don't have to spend extra time

I got a new layout on my phone (iphone12) but it’s not showing live segments anymore. It is telling me that I’m doing splits, which I’m sure I didn’t ask for, but I’m not seeing any data on these either. Any way to restore live segments please?

I wish to have my profile location set as Edinburgh, Scotland, however regardless of what I do in edit profile (app or website) United Kingdom is always added to the end of my location. Any suggestions on how I resolve?

Looking at my profile, none of my workouts for stand up paddle board are showing up for 2025 or all time. Other types of workouts are working. They had been working. appreciate any help. 

I'm experiencing issues with Strava on my Apple Watch. It's unable to satisfactorily record and keep the data of any activities such as running, walking, or riding when using the watch alone—without my phone. It appears to be a GPS issue in the Strava app. Apple did a diagnostic and GPS is functioning okay and I used the NIKE run app and it is recording and saving the data/maps.Ideas?

I just completed the Etape du Tour de France yesterday. My HUAWEI watch also records and uploads almost immediately. The problem is that the watch battery often dies on long spins like that. What can I do to get the Element Bolt uploading, with and without WiFi please?

I have an iphone 14 pro. When I am recording, my live segments (that are stared) aren’t showing. Yes, they are inclines, yes they are starred etc etc. Prior to pausing and then renewing my membership, they worked. I believe someone online said they temporarily canceled and then started back up their membership and had the same issue. And Strave had to do something on their end to fix but I have created tickets, the first over 2 weeks ago, I get generic responses after several days to a week with solutions that don’t apply or I have already tried. 

I added seatpost and pedal components to my bike in My Gear.  I noticed after doing this that the Seatpost and Pedals options are no longer on the dropdown list.How am I supposed to choose new pedals and seatpost/dropper when I replace them in a few months?  The components I have listed on each bike should be a running list, not just the new replacing the old.I want a history of what is on the bike, for example:Front tire put on June 2022Front tire replaced July 2023etc, etc.This way we can know how long we had components on our bikes, how much life we got out of them, or simply when we upgraded to new parts.Thanks

Hi all! During my last workout my Garmin noticed that I ran my Personal Best on 1 km at 4:58/kmHere attached the detail of the run, where my fastest km is ? I can’t see it. Where the record is evaluated?Furthermore, there's a huge difference somewhere from pace (passo medio) and gap (GAP medio), see lap 4, 4:34 to 5:13, very strange as the run was totally flat.... ;-)Thank you! 

 When checking a new record over a route I did yesterday, the visualization of the segment name looks wrong, and seems that is displaying the name of the variable. This is not happening when checking the route/segment on desktop.Steps:Using the mobile app go into the activity https://www.strava.com/activities/15210464622 Click on the bronze medal  The pop up shows the variable instead of the segment name  Desktop visualization: 

Trying to log in to Strava using one-time code and keep getting errors. I've tried multiple devices and no luck. Any suggestions for regaining access??

UPDATE from the Strava team:We can confirm the team is working on fixing the issue. We are expecting the fix to go out soon - once the fix is out, we’ll be sure to update this thread and let you know!  Hello all, I'm having an issue when trying to zoom out on a map screen where it starts to zoom out to see anything an area but then the whole screen goes white like a cloud cover & i can't see anything. This does it on my own maps aswell as friends maps. Strava has been updated to the latest version & is running on an android s24 . 

Why now do I see “CO2 saved” on the downloaded map when its not a commute but just a ride? I could give a toss on any ride how much CO2 I save or create. How do I get rid of this on the saved maps?
