Athlete-to-Athlete Communication
I’d like the opportunity to communicate privately and directly with fellow Strava athletes (gear and route questions, co-training opportunities, etc.; things that are too detailed for the comments section). I understand that creating, integrating, and “policing” an internal personal messaging system is daunting, but what about Strava allowing an email sharing “opt in”.Any athlete could allow conversation through their Strava verified sign-in email but it would be hidden behind a “contact this athlete” button on Strava. The receiving athlete would see the sending athlete’s email and they could choose to reply or not reply and continue the communication off the Strava website within their personal email (gmail, yahoo, etc). The general Strava audience would not see any personal email, just the “contact this athlete” button—unless it is grayed out because the athlete chose to not partake in this form of direct communication. What are your thoughts and ideas please? Thank you.&
